Pando Bioscience: Empowering Pharma with AI-Optimized Enzymes

Pando is an AI-driven synthetic biology company revolutionizing enzyme engineering for pharma. Our ultra-high-throughput screening platform screens 1000 times more enzymes, 75% faster, and 80% cheaper than traditional methods. This empowers our generative AI to optimize enzymes across multiple properties, delivering high-performing, tailored enzymes that cut costs and enhance efficiency.

The Problem

Enzymes play a crucial role in driving market growth and profitability in the pharmaceutical industries. Inefficient or underutilized enzymes can lead to significant financial losses and missed opportunities. Therefore, developing optimized enzymes that possess a balance of key properties becomes a top priority but remains challenging and time-consuming.

Our Solution

Our AI model designs enzymes with specific mutations that enhance multiple properties simultaneously. These AI-generated enzymes are tested using our unique ultra-high-throughput one-pot screening platform. This platform converts diverse biological signals into abundant and quantifiable data under various conditions. By integrating AI design with advanced screening, we’ve reduced the design-build-test-learn cycle to just one month. We efficiently evaluate enzyme performance across different criteria tackling the challenge of multi-property optimization.

At Pando, we help pharma companies improve existing enzymes and discover new ones, cutting costs and boosting productivity. We are also developing our own proprietary enzyme assets.

Our Team

We are experts in the field. @Will joined the synthetic biology unicorn Ginkgo Bioworks as an early employee. @Yang spent 6 years at Harvard Medical School before joining Ginkgo. AI-guided enzyme engineering is in our wheelhouse.
