Artificial Cell, Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs)
"ProtoCell Concept"

Nanoscale self-assembly is imperative in the fabrication of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). We leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to select lipid compositions that confer LNPs with dual-functionality, which are capable of in vivo targeted delivery of active functional molecules with reduced toxicity effects while offering protection and stabilization to the active functional molecules.
