We invite you to the 4th Annual Biotech Start-up Symposium, a free, two-day event to help Biotech Start-ups navigate their path to commercialization. This Symposium features industry experts who present and discuss various aspects of emerging technologies and the latest trends in their fields.

On November 14th, Day 1, you won’t want to miss the presentation from Alec Nielson on Computer-aided design of living cells.

Here is an overview of what will be discussed:

Computer-aided design tools are central to mature engineering fields, including semiconductor circuit design, architecture, aeronautics, and more. However, the standard tools used in biotechnology are primitive, contributing to lengthy R&D cycles dominated by trial and error. To enable more precise design of living cells, we are developing a platform that couples synthetic biology and computational biology. By integrating an experimental data engine with AI models, we enable simulation, optimization, and analysis of genetic systems more reliably. We democratize our platform to biotech companies to accelerate their development of protein biologics, cell/gene therapies, and RNA.
