Inside Cradle: How AI Is Accelerating Scientific Discovery with Elise de Reus

What happens when a renowned wet lab biologist and Google brain machine learning engineers get together to work on biotech? You get Cradle! In this episode, co-founder Elise de Reus joins host Flo Lumsden to break down how Cradle turns protein design into a genuine back-and-forth between scientists and machine learning models. Elise explains why the real magic isn't the model alone — it's the loop itself. The bigger picture? Antibodies that skip the mouse, enzymes that survive your laundry machine, and why designing proteins faster — and in the loop— could mean faster answers for the diseases we're all still waiting on... including Flo!
Recorded live at SynBioBeta - where the scientists, the machine learning crowd, and (increasingly) the compute giants all show up to compare notes.
