Intro

What is Cradle?

Cradle is a specialized AI scale-up with hubs in Zurich and Amsterdam, providing a powerful platform for modern protein engineering teams. As a biotech series B scale-up, Cradle helps biologists design improved proteins in record time by leveraging generative AI and predictive algorithms. The platform allows researchers to improve protein properties such as stability, activity, and expression by learning from their own experimental data. Whether you are focusing on a Cradle ai antibody project or optimizing enzymes, the platform accelerates the journey from hit identification to lead optimization, helping companies get products to market in quarters rather than years.
