LiberumBio, part of #UWaterloo's @Velocity, has raised a $1.8 million seed round to accelerate the synthesis and testing of unrealized life-saving therapeutics.

“We see ourselves not simply as a cell-free biotech company, but rather a protein synthesis powerhouse,” said @LiberumBio co-founder and CEO Aidan Tinafar (@Tinafar). #CDNtech https://t.co/BSniKEm9dl
Some proteins migrate differently than expected from calculated mass on an SDS-PAGE. Guan et al. have described how the % of acidic residues modifies the apparent MW. We have built a free handy tool that leverages their work to predict the adjusted mass: https://t.co/EFvXg71Mkr
Let's build a thread of cool applications for #AlphaFold.
Have been jamming on this topic w/ @jrvalcourt & @vijaypande; would love to expand the convo and make a space to share creative ideas. Add your thoughts in reply 👇!
My lab just published an A.I. tool that can in do in 10 minutes what used to take scientists years.
The software computes the shape of a protein based on its DNA sequence.
We've made the tool free. 500 scientists used it in the last month.
Buckle up — biotech is gonna be wild
What if manufacturing proteins was as simple as brewing a cup of coffee? Liberum, a venture formed in the #MedicinebyDesign community, aims to make desktop protein manufacturing a reality. https://t.co/FUH43Fr7Yg
People in synthetic biology use four-base codons all the time. They work. So why does the normal genetic code uses triplet codons? New preprint with @kesvelt https://t.co/tAPSJ3egFF
Following @indbio Demo Day, I wrote a few thoughts on the events and what they have reminded many of us of: that science, when harnessed, is certain in its progress in creating lasting and valuable change for every person on the planet.

Well done @Tinafar on your demo, and your vision for protein manufacturing at a push of a button. #synbio@indbio@SOSV
Now let us beta test your benchtop, so I don't have to make proteins in the lab anymore😅
.@LiberumBio aims to free researchers from the tedious task of turning DNA into protein and make experiments faster and cheaper.

Coupling cell-free systems with #synthetic biology advanced the development of #biosensors, manufacture of #therapeutics and design of biological systems for other diverse applications. Read the #openaccess Review article by Keith Pardee and colleagues at https://t.co/FLgZb1xjwx
Thrilled to share our recent paper with @zibochen
@WysockiVicki, @HanaScientist, @UWproteindesign, @NUSynBio demonstrating de novo design of protein logic gates, with #cellfree systems and our own Andrew Hunt. Awesome Baker Lab collaboration. #synbio
