You bring the question. We deliver mechanism.

A closed-loop research engine for molecular biology. AI-orchestrated experimental design, cloud-lab execution, multimodal profiling. Iterative across 2–3 cycles.

What's missing in pharma cardiac safety today: mechanism on proprietary compounds, in the cell types pharma actually screens against. Open atlases can't include your proprietary compounds. Internal hERG and CiPA flag risk; they don't deliver mechanism. Generic CROs execute; they don't iterate.

For pharma cardiac safety, each engagement runs as a closed-loop research program in human iPSC-cardiomyocytes: AI-orchestrated experimental design, cloud-lab execution (Arctoris), multimodal mechanism profiling (Cell Painting + DRUG-seq + electrophysiology), active learning across 2–3 cycles within a 4–8 week window. NDA-protected.

The same engine extends to academic functional genomics (allele-specific perturbation screens, dominant-disease mechanism studies), AI-bio research, and other molecular biology questions needing iterative, multimodal work.

What hERG can't tell you

Mechanism. Off-target liabilities. Pathway-level disruption. Multimodal readouts on your compound in iPSC-cardiomyocytes, not just a binary risk flag.

What generic CROs can't do

Iterate. Each round of data trains the model that picks the next round. 2–3 active-learning cycles inside a 4–8 week engagement.

What open data won't have

Your compound. NDA-protected from intake to delivery. Methods accrue to the engine; compound-specific findings stay yours.

First engagement
Calibration

Your first engagement runs as a calibration. You send compounds with known cardiac outcomes (clinical-positive and clinical-negative), blinded to us until delivery. We return mechanism profiles plus a fine-tuned model you keep. Low commitment to find out where the engine works on your chemistry before you scale up. NDA-protected.

How it works
Week 0
Intake
NDA + scope. Compound, target endpoints, and the question handed off.
Active learning
2–3 cycles
Each round of data trains the model that picks the next round.
Week 4–8
Delivery
Mechanism profile on your compound. The cardiac-safety questions from intake, answered.
Inside each cycle
01 · DESIGN
AI selects
Next round's experimental design: perturbations, concentrations, conditions.
02 · EXECUTE
Arctoris runs
Plate runs end-to-end on the cloud lab. No manual handoffs.
03 · MEASURE
Multimodal
Cell Painting, DRUG-seq, and electrophysiology, co-measured.
04 · ANALYZE
Model updates
Each round of data trains the model that picks the next.
Output of cycle N is input to cycle N+1.

Each iteration compounds. The model learns which experiments tell you the most about your compound and picks the next round accordingly.
