The Next 50 Companies to Disrupt the World: The Digest’s 2019 Multi-Slide Guide to Arzeda and Designer Proteins

In our Next 50 Companies to Disrupt the World, one company which is intensively followed by the Digesterati but perhaps less known in the broader world is Arzeda.  That has a lot to do with the fact that the entire idea of designing proteins using modern tools has completely revolutionized the scope and scale of what can be done.

With computational protein design and state-of-the-art high-throughput screening, traditional protein engineering is, well,  on the way to the museum to stand next to the Ford Model T and the Wright Flyer, to name a couple of technologies that were revolutionary in their day but would seem almost medieval in the here and now. Proteins are the Brave New World of digital biology and we’re all going to hear a lot more about them, and a lot more about Ardeda, too.

Alexandre Zanghellini, CEO, Arzeda gave this illuminating overview of their computational protein design solution, details on their industrial protein design technology, what’s in the pipeline for them right now, commercial traction, and more.
