Agentic and Generative Protein Design Co-op
Lila Sciences
AI-powered scientific discovery for medicines
Your Impact at LILA
Our team works on AI methods for therapeutic protein design, with a tight loop between computation and the wet lab. A co-op could take on either of two tracks, or a mix of both. (1) Generative models and protein design pipelines: build, benchmark, and improve methods for designing proteins (such as antibodies and minibinders), with candidates tested in our lab so results are grounded in experimental data. (2) AI agents for protein design campaigns: build and evaluate agents that help plan campaign strategy (target and epitope selection, choosing methods and settings), execute campaigns (launching design and filtering runs, diagnosing failures, adapting the next round), and reason over biological priors from the literature alongside the outputs of domain-specific models. Either way, the co-op would own a well-scoped project, ship code and analyses that feed real design decisions and scientific outcomes.

AI-powered scientific discovery for medicines
Lila.ai uses artificial intelligence to speed up scientific discovery in medicines and advanced materials. The system ingests large sets of scientific data, experimental results, and literature to identify patterns, generate hypotheses, and guide research programs. It differentiates itself by tackling deep scientific problems at scale and combining AI with domain expertise, rather than offering generic tools. The goal is to help humanity by delivering new medicines and materials that solve major biological and materials challenges through data-driven discovery.
