About

Acrobat Genomics builds AI-driven protein and genome engineering platforms for pharma, biotech, and research institutions. The company's AcrobaTx Engine is a closed-loop system that uses AI to propose therapeutic candidates, screens designs through parallel testing, measures functional data from human cells, and feeds results back to train the next cycle. Based in San Carlos, California, Acrobat Genomics has published peer-reviewed research on computationally guided protein engineering and genome editing tools.
