Virtual cells, in-silico experiments and drug design.

A virtual cell models the malignant clone, its normal counterpart and the niche around it, from the biobank's harmonised data. Padma runs experiments on it before the lab, and every prediction is tested back through it.

Disease-specific virtual cells

Hematologic malignancies first, where our single-cell and clonal-evolution data are deepest. Each model carries three layers: the clone, its normal counterpart and the niche.

Myeloblast virtual cell

Acute myeloid leukemia

Leukemic stem and blast states, their normal HSPC counterparts and the marrow niche.

What a virtual cell holds

The malignant clone
Its states, drivers and dependencies, from single-cell, genomic and clonal-evolution data.
Its normal counterpart
The healthy cells a therapy must spare, modelled alongside the disease.
The niche
The microenvironment that supports the clone and shapes response.
Calibrated uncertainty
Every prediction carries a confidence and the data it rests on. The model abstains where evidence is absent.

Drug design on virtual cells

Target identification
Targets that survive independent replication and show a therapeutic window against normal tissue.
Candidate design
Small-molecule and biologic candidates against ranked targets; antigen selection for cell and bispecific therapies.
Efficacy against toxicity
Predicted effect on the malignant clone against its normal counterpart and the niche.
Resistance
Clonal escape modelled from clonal-evolution data: which subclones survive, and what second line follows.
Diagnostics
In-silico assessment of biomarker and MRD assay designs before samples are spent.

In-silico experiments: run one on a virtual cell.

Press the button. In this illustration a simulated knockout collapses the malignant clone, leaves a resistant subclone, and spares the normal counterpart: the three answers a therapeutic programme needs before wet-lab spend.

Illustration. Virtual cells are in development; no model claims are sold. Every real prediction will carry calibrated uncertainty.

From data to a prediction the lab can test.

  1. 1

    Biobank data

    Genomic, transcriptomic, single-cell, proteomic and flow data for one disease, harmonised in the biobank.

  2. 2

    Virtual cell

    The malignant clone, its normal counterpart and its niche, with calibrated uncertainty on every prediction.

  3. 3

    In-silico experiments

    Padma runs knockouts and candidate therapeutics against the model before anything reaches a bench.

  4. 4

    Stress test

    Efficacy against toxicity, resistance under selective pressure, off-target effects, sensitivity to assumptions.

  5. 5

    Back to the lab

    Prioritised predictions return through the Virtual Lab for wet-lab testing by partners.

Independently evaluated before any prediction is offered

The independence firewall applies: the Trust Layer never evaluates our own models, so evaluation is commissioned from outside.

Status

In development.

Collaborations with translational and discovery teams are scoped on request. No efficacy claims are made or sold.

Also in Virtual Cells

Custom biomedical AI systems

Retrieval systems over a client’s own literature and data, and scoped agents for defined research workflows, each with a pre-registered fitness-for-purpose evaluation. Never sold as independent evaluation.

Physical AI for the laboratory

Agents that operate and audit instruments through published driver interfaces: fail-closed, human approval for high-risk steps, tamper-evident audit records. The first open-source release is live; pilots run under qualification protocols. Not sold as a validated GxP system.
