ILARGIA: AI-based platform for de novo protein design and optimisation
Project fact sheet
ILARGIA
Vertical: Biotechnology
Project description
ILARGIA is based on an Artificial Intelligence ecosystem for protein design, applicable to both bioindustrial and medical uses. It offers stabilised variants of any natural protein, as well as de novo designed proteins, combining bioinformatics analysis with state-of-the-art AI-based structure and sequence design algorithms and, crucially, experimental validation in the laboratory. All this is possible thanks to the automation and integration of AI tools optimised for CIC bioGUNE’s high-performance computing cluster. Our methodology significantly reduces experimental work and costs, delivering high quality candidates directly from the simulations.
Market
