HERlab

Unlocking Previously “Unmakeable” Proteins

Powered by radically diverse microorganisms and AI, our platform finds the right host for every protein

About

HERlab works with thousands of unconventional yeasts to find the best one for your protein of interest recombinant production

Expression
Problem Solved

Decades of protein science have relied on a few industrial workhorses. Yet many modern proteins demand cellular environments those systems can’t provide.

Our uniqueness lies in employing a unique library of diverse microorganisms combined with AI guidance to find the optimal match between the species, protein, and genetic tools - ensuring correct folding, complex post-translational modifications, and robust yields for specific conditions.

This makes truly complex proteins manufacturable, enabling breakthroughs in bio‑materials, healthcare, and molecular research.

Unique Data Sets

By combining our high-throughput platform and expanded capabilities in expressing complex proteins, we generate unique datasets capturing insights into protein folding, post-translational modifications, stability, and functionality - providing invaluable input for next-generation protein design models.

We work with the most complex proteins including ones generated with AI models
