Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Cradle

What types of proteins can Cradle optimize?
Cradle is suitable for any protein and property. If it can be measured, it can be optimized with Cradle.
How does Cradle protect my data?
Your sequences and data remain private and secure. Only authorized users can access your data, which is never used to train models for others. You retain full ownership and control, with bank-grade security protecting your information.
Is Cradle a contract research organization (CRO)?
No, Cradle is not a CRO. They operate their own wet lab in Amsterdam to ensure high-quality model outputs while your proprietary data stays fully private.
Can I use Cradle for early-stage research?
Yes, Cradle supports early-stage protein design, enabling rapid hypothesis testing and iterative optimization.
What kind of experimental data is needed?
Cradle requires experimental data to train its models and improve prediction accuracy. The quality and quantity of data influence the results.
How does Cradle improve protein stability?
Cradle employs AI algorithms to identify modifications that enhance protein stability and efficacy based on your input data.
