Ailurus pioneers the advance of biological programming within a startup framework. Our mission is to make biology a general-purpose technology (GPT), as programmable and accessible as modern computers.
Ailurus is founded on a bold vision: a future where reshaping the physical world becomes as easy and efficient as engineering the digital one.
We believe biology is the key. At Ailurus, we view biology as more than just a subject of study — it's a uniquely powerful programmable platform that is uniquely capable of transforming information, matter, and energy. Programming biology is really the technology of everything.
And our mission is to unlock this potential by making biology a general-purpose technology (GPT), as programmable and accessible as modern computers.
Mastering this powerful GPT will unleash unprecedented productivity, liberating humanity from repetitive labor and freeing us to focus on creativity and discovery.
Just like software engineers write code for electronic computers, we craft DNA codes to instruct operations in living systems, i.e. "software" on biological substrates, termed biological programs.
Biological programs can turn cells into efficient workforces, capable of automation, process control, and even complex information processing and in vivo computation.
Thus, inspired by early software industry, we started to write biological programs that empower biologists and developers, speeding up discoveries and knowledge creation with the help of AI, and moving towards versatile platforms for diverse biological applications.
Experience an unprecedented scale in your research through miniaturization and parallelism.
By programming cells to conduct a multitude of diverse experiments and tests, we transform a single tube of cells into thousands, millions, or even trillions of micro-laboratories. This innovative approach accelerates screening, optimization, and data generation, surpassing traditional methods and delivering actionable insights with greater speed.
Our proprietary workflow has already generated millions of wet-lab data points across over 100 custom projects, exceeding conventional limits, and we are eager to extend this technology to a broader audience.
