Biosecurity infrastructure

The complete security layer for biosynthesis.

Prevent biosecurity threats before they emerge.

§ 01 — Mission

Build the security infrastructure that scales with biology's potential.

So breakthrough science doesn't become a breakthrough threat.

·· How we got here
Five decades of biology compounding faster than the safeguards around it.
1975

Asilomar

Scientists self-pause recombinant DNA work to write the first safety norms.

2001

Anthrax letters

A weaponized pathogen mailed inside the U.S. resets biosecurity policy.

2011

H5N1 dual-use

Gain-of-function research forces a global debate on what to publish.

2018

IGSC protocol

Synthesis providers harmonize on a voluntary screening standard.

2020

mRNA at scale

A pandemic proves synthetic biology can deploy globally in months.

2023

Generative biology

AI-designed proteins and LLMs raise the ceiling, and the risk surface.

2025

EU Biotech Act

Europe codifies biosecurity expectations across the biotech value chain.

2025

Paraphrase Project

Microsoft shows how AI-paraphrased sequences slip past existing screens.

2026

BMI Act proposals

U.S. Biosecurity Modernization & Innovation Act enters legislative debate.

2026

Lucid

A complete security layer for biosynthesis, built for what comes next.

§ 02 — Stacks

Two surfaces. One continuous perimeter.

§ 02.1For synthesis

The operational stack.

Embedded screening, vetting, and modeling tools that sit inside the synthesis workflow.

Live

Sequence Screening

Multi-approach biosecurity analysis

Multi-layered screening that catches harmful sequences standard BLAST-based analysis misses — combining sequence, structural, and functional signals.

Launch
Soon

Automated KYC Audits

Know your customer, instantly

Compliance checks for biological material orders. Flag high-risk actors before synthesis begins.

Soon

Virtual Cell World Models

Test novel pathogens, safely

High-fidelity in silico environments to model novel pathogen behavior before any wet-lab work begins.

§ 02.2For policy

The ecosystem stack.

Tools for governments, public-health agencies, and response teams — supporting the wider biosecurity perimeter beyond the synthesis floor.

Exploring

Protocol Preparedness Sims

Hyper-realistic response training

Full-fidelity outbreak scenario simulations to train teams and stress-test containment protocols.

Exploring

Pathogen Outbreak Tracker

Real-time global surveillance

Live monitoring of pathogen outbreak signals across global health networks, flagging biosecurity-relevant events as they emerge.
