What Trident Bioscience does
Trident Bioscience builds tools to expedite the discovery and optimization of useful proteins. Our technology first applies predictive models of protein structure and function to generate sets of potentially active protein sequences. We then apply our state-of-the-art sequence optimization algorithm to design gene libraries capable of testing these candidates extremely quickly and affordably. By combining these technologies, we're closing the design-build-test loop of protein optimization and cutting the total cycle time to help bring synthetic proteins to market faster than ever before.

Company
Trident Bioscience
Accelerating protein engineering.
We build software tools to speed up protein discovery and optimization. Our product combines predictive models of protein structure and function with a sequence optimization algorithm. This lets researchers generate and test diverse protein variants more quickly and cheaply, closing the design-build-test loop in protein engineering.
We live in Mountain View, California and will base the company here post-YC, with some remote flexibility.
Mountain View is the right base because it's where we live and it provides access to talent and biotech infrastructure essential to building our product and customer base.
