Substrate

Substrate builds an infrastructure layer for AI-driven biology. It is developing a network of autonomous wet laboratories that generate the experimental data foundation models in biology depend on. The approach combines continuously running robotic wet-lab automation with closed-loop interaction between foundation models and experiments. The company is described as London-based and operating in stealth, with an initial node opening in London.

Substrate develops an infrastructure layer for AI-driven biology by operating a network of autonomous wet laboratories. These facilities use robotic automation to generate experimental data required for training biological foundation models. The company facilitates a closed-loop interaction between its models and physical experiments to accelerate scientific discovery.
