Problem & Need
EpCAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule) is a well-established biomarker overexpressed in many carcinomas (colon, breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers). Despite its importance, developing high-affinity, selective aptamers against EpCAM has traditionally been limited by:
- Time-consuming SELEX cycles
- High experimental costs
- Low hit rates and binding specificity challenges
Researchers, CROs, and diagnostics companies need faster, more reliable approaches to generate aptamers that bind EpCAM with high affinity for use in biosensors, imaging, targeted delivery, and early cancer diagnostics.
- AI-Driven Sequence Prediction and Optimization
- Custom High-Affinity Aptamers for Specific Targets
- Fast Turnaround Time with Minimal Experimental Data

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Our software leverages advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to design and optimize aptamers—short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that bind to specific targets. The tool streamlines the discovery process, reduces experimental iterations, and delivers high-affinity, specific aptamer candidates for therapeutic, diagnostic, or research applications.
Our solution is ideal for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, academic research labs, diagnostic developers, and any organization involved in molecular recognition and bioassay development. Whether you’re working on biomarker discovery, drug delivery, or point-of-care diagnostics, our tool can accelerate your aptamer design process.
The process begins by inputting your target molecule’s structure and desired binding characteristics. Our platform then uses deep learning models and molecular simulations to generate a library of potential aptamer sequences. These sequences are evaluated and ranked based on predicted binding affinity, specificity, and stability. You receive a prioritized list of candidates for further experimental validation.
Typically, you will need structural data of the target (e.g., protein 3D structure, sequence information) and information on desired binding properties. Our team can help guide you through the data requirements during an initial consultation.
Absolutely! Our platform is highly customizable. We work with you to tailor the AI algorithms and parameters according to your target molecule, assay requirements, and experimental constraints. Custom integration with your existing R&D workflows is also available.
Our software features API integration and standard data export options (e.g., CSV, JSON) to seamlessly integrate with your Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and data analysis pipelines. We also offer training sessions to ensure your team can easily adopt the platform.
Our AI models are trained on extensive datasets of known aptamer-target interactions and validated through iterative cycles of experimental feedback. This ensures high predictive accuracy. However, while our software provides a strong starting point, experimental validation is recommended to confirm performance in your specific application.
Yes, we provide PoC trials and collaborative validation support. We work closely with your team to validate the top aptamer candidates in your wet lab, ensuring that the predictions translate into practical, high-performance molecules.
Our pricing is tailored based on your project scope, required customization, and integration needs. We offer subscription-based models as well as project-based pricing. Please contact us for a detailed quote and consultation.
We offer comprehensive customer support that includes onboarding training, technical support via email and phone, and regular software updates. Our dedicated customer success team is available to assist you at every stage of your aptamer design journey.

Publications
Explore our contributions to the forefront of biotechnology and artificial intelligence. From AI-driven enzyme engineering to deep learning applications in data analysis, our publications highlight innovative solutions to complex challenges in molecular biology and computational science.
- Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that show enhanced reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity while retaining other desirable properties such as fidelity, 5′-3′ exonuclease activity, effective deoxyuracil incorporation, and tolerance to locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing substrates.
- The transcriptomic data are being frequently used in the research of biomarker genes of different diseases and biological states. The most common tasks there are the data harmonization and treatment outcome prediction. Both of them can be addressed via the style transfer approach. Either technical factors or any biological details about the samples which we would like to control (gender, biological state, treatment, etc.) can be used as style components.
