Cradle + Google We're excited to announce our new partnership with Google Cloud, aimed at providing an unprecedented level of security for our customers' sensitive research and development data. By leveraging Google Cloud's advanced data protection solutions, we've created a secure environment that allows our customers to innovate with AI, without compromising the safety of their valuable intellectual property. At Cradle, we view data security as primarily an engineering challenge. Our approach integrates safeguards at every architectural level, from each Cradler's device to our SaaS platform's web interface. This sets us apart in the biotech industry, where many focus primarily on perimeter security and compliance. While we're adopting SOC2 and ISO27001 standards, we believe true data security requires more comprehensive measures. Our collaboration with Google Cloud allows us to focus on what we do best - advancing our AI algorithms and developing our platform for protein engineering. We can now offer our customers a user-friendly, web-based software that makes protein engineering faster, cheaper, and more successful across various industries, all while ensuring the utmost protection of their intellectual property. We're proud to bring this level of security to the biotech industry. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZbrU-UG

In our latest blog post covering The Rise of the Bioneers, we continue our exploration of how innovative companies are leveraging proteins to transform industries and create a more sustainable future. This second installment delves into the fascinating world of plastic waste management, chemical production, and beauty products. We spotlight Protein Evolution and Carbiolice, two companies tackling the plastic waste crisis through enzyme technology. Protein Evolution uses AI-designed enzymes to convert plastic waste into reusable raw materials, while Carbiolice has developed an additive to accelerate PLA plastic degradation. In the chemical sector, Solugen is revolutionizing production methods with enzyme-based processes that aim to reduce environmental impact. Meanwhile, Geltor is disrupting the beauty and personal care industry by creating animal-free protein alternatives through microbial fermentation and genetic engineering. These companies represent just a fraction of the growing movement towards sustainable, protein-based solutions across various industries. Their innovative approaches demonstrate the potential for proteins to address some of our most pressing environmental challenges, from plastic pollution to chemical production emissions. Ultimately we aim to help a million companies design better protein-based processes and products. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dEN9Dm2m

🧬 Welcome to the second installment of our "Cradle Unfolded" series, where we learn from the individuals who make up the Cradle team! In this post, we're honored to feature Jinel Shah, one of the scientists working diligently to optimize our wet lab processes. Jinel joins us with extensive experience from her previous position as a protein engineer at Genomatica, where she contributed to projects such as the commercialization of plant-based nylon production. Throughout this thoughtful conversation, Jinel shares her insights on the evolving field of protein engineering. She reflects on the potential of AI and machine learning to expedite the design process, the significance of fostering collaboration between biologists and mathematicians, and Cradle's efforts to make these advanced tools more accessible to the scientific community. From discussing the primary challenges in the field to expressing her interest in participating in our "Woman vs. Machine" protein design challenge, Jinel provides a unique and valuable perspective on the work being done by scientists at the vanguard of the protein design revolution. 👉 https://lnkd.in/djU-zBnS

For the past year, we've been highlighting innovative companies that are harnessing the power of biology to make the world a better place. From curing diseases to tackling climate change and pollution, these bioneers are addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Today, we're taking it a step further with part one of our new blog post series, exploring how companies like Perfect Day, The EVERY Company, Firmenich, Amyris, Isobionics® (now BASF), Spiber Inc., and Newlight Technologies, Inc. / AIRCARBON are using proteins to revolutionize food production, create sustainable fragrances, pioneer eco-friendly textiles, and develop plastic alternatives. We believe in amplifying the stories of these visionary companies to showcase the incredible potential of biology in solving complex global problems. Ultimately, we aspire to empower a million bioneers, each making a unique contribution to building a more sustainable future. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dUTQCD7G
