In silico & bioinformatics

Our proprietary algorithms predict off-target interactions and ensure species cross-reactivity before benchwork begins.

Highlights
  • In silico screening streamlines lead selection.
  • Sequence-specific modelling reduces downstream failures.

Rational design & synthesis

We integrate chemical modifications to boost oligonucleotide stability, lower immunogenicity, and enable targeted delivery for various RNA therapeutics.

Highlights
  • Solid-phase synthesis at multiple scales.
  • On-resin or post-synthetic conjugation for lipids, carbohydrates, peptides, antibodies and more.
