Profluent is an AI-powered research platform exploring the use of generative AI technologies to create new proteins with unique functions. Still, Profluent's technology does more than just build proteins by natural evolution and incremental alterations; it also explores the large protein sequence space to create molecules specially tailored for desired function. Profluent's platform features ProGen3, advanced protein language models that can create complete proteins (like antibodies and modified parts), along with OpenCRISPR, an AI-designed gene editor that shows the company's skill in making small, effective tools for editing genomes. Profluent can show that its protein designs work in real-life uses in medicine, farming, and industry by mixing new deep learning methods with proven lab techniques. Profluent combines AI technology with real-world testing, making it a leader in the new wave of protein engineering that addresses challenges in health, sustainability, and biotechnology.
