Agrochemical discovery
Rapidly characterize candidate compounds and prioritize leads with mechanism‑aware phenotypic profiles.
Mechanism‑aware biosensing, built into living cells.
We engineer algal biosensors with multiplexed fluorescent reporters and ML/AI analysis to identify how chemicals act inside cells—reducing screening from weeks to hours.
- High‑throughput
- Mechanistic readouts
- “Plate, perturb, observe” simplicity
Solutions
Water quality monitoring
Detect and characterize classes of environmental contaminants with sensitive cellular reporters—not just growth endpoints.
Industrial & environmental biotech
Screen complex mixtures and stressors to de‑risk processes and protect ecosystems.
Technology
Our assay builds the readout directly into biology. Engineered algal cells express multiplexed fluorescent reporters that map perturbations across pathways. Combine with high‑content imaging and ML to predict mechanisms of action.
- Simple workflow: plate → perturb → observe
- High‑content imaging with automated analysis
- Interpretable ML/AI for MoA prediction
Use cases
MoA triage in hit‑to‑lead
Rank hits by likely cellular targets using phenotypic similarity to reference compounds.
Mixture assessment
Characterize complex samples where traditional single‑endpoint assays fall short.
Environmental surveillance
Deploy to monitor waterways and industrial effluents for mechanism‑relevant stress signals.
