Introducing gmRNA™

AI agents for individualized mRNA therapeutics.

Turning patient data into proprietary medicine in clicks, not years.

gmRNA™ is Spheroid AI's agentic platform: it turns each patient's tumor profile into optimized, ready-to-manufacture mRNA sequences. Our team combines generative sequence design, in-vitro validation workflows, and manufacturing integration to deliver truly individualized therapies at scale — starting with drug-resistant ovarian cancer.

Meet Julia

Julia — your gmRNA™ copilot.

Julia is the conversational agent inside gmRNA™. Watch her orchestrate agentic mRNA construct design, in-vitro validation planning, and manufacturing handoff — from a single tumor transcriptomic dataset.

J

Tumor profile for P-001 ingested. BRCA1 mutation detected with TP53 loss-of-function. I've identified KRAS and VEGFR2 as candidate targets. Ready to generate mRNA construct candidates. Shall I proceed?

R

Yes — design constructs with GC content constraints and flag any off-target risks.

J

Generated 3 construct candidates. Top candidate mRNA-4821-v3 has a design score of 0.91, GC content 48.2%, no off-target flags, and high manufacturability. Want to see the validation plan?

R

Yes, and flag any immunogenicity risks.

J

Validation plan ready: proliferation assays at 48h and 72h, Caspase-3/7 activation readout, PARP cleavage western blot. No immunogenicity flags; one minor 5′ UTR motif advisory is documented in the design rationale.

Inside gmRNA™: Julia's agentic network

At the heart of gmRNA™, specialized agents — orchestrated by Julia — profile tumors, design optimized mRNA constructs, plan in-vitro validation assays, and generate ready-to-manufacture packages with full traceability.

Tumor profiling ingest

Upload omics and pathology summaries; Julia standardizes them into a design-ready tumor profile.

Agentic target & construct design

Multi-agent reasoning and generative sequence design with constraints for GC content, motifs, off-target screening, and manufacturability.

In-vitro validation workflows

Experimental plans for proliferation, apoptosis assays, and protein marker readouts, tailored to each construct.

Manufacturing handoff

Export ready-to-manufacture packages — sequence files, specifications, and QC checklists — to your CDMO partners.

Safety & risk flags

Screen for sequence liabilities, off-target effects, and immunogenicity heuristics with documented risk advisories.

Full auditability

Version every construct with complete design rationale — from tumor profile to final sequence.

Use cases

Built for teams accelerating mRNA therapeutics.

From bench to manufacturing, gmRNA™ supports the programs that define the next generation of precision oncology.
