An agentic platform for life sciences In beta

Scientific intelligence.
Business decisions.

Your main agent coordinates specialist subagents for scientific research and business analysis. They search source databases, run code in R and Python, and write reports with citations. You review the results and working files in one canvas.

Business & strategy

Put the business decision in view.

Examine an asset, a deal or a portfolio with its scientific evidence and business assumptions together. Use the analyses that fit your question.

Explore decision analyses

For biotech and pharma teams, technology-transfer offices, consultants and investors. Decision support, with judgment and approval remaining with you.

Asset valuation & licensing

What is the opportunity worth, and on what terms?

Connect development risk, cost, timing and commercial assumptions to value. Examine the effect of upfront payments, milestones and royalties instead of treating the headline valuation as the answer.

rNPV · Monte Carlo scenarios · Sensitivity analysis · Deal assumptions

Portfolio & capital allocation

Which programs deserve the next commitment?

Compare opportunities against cash, capacity and strategic priorities. Explore shared scientific risk, diversification and the consequences of advancing, delaying or partnering a program.

Allocation options · Risk and correlation · Budget constraints · Sequencing

Indication & development strategy

Where should an asset go next?

Bring disease biology, unmet need, clinical feasibility, differentiation and economics into the same assessment. Keep evidence gaps visible when comparing indications and development paths.

Indication comparisons · Target product profiles · Patient funnels · Development options

Competitive & market intelligence

Where can this program compete?

Understand competitors, clinical readouts, standards of care and emerging technologies. Examine how a new result or market development changes the positioning of an asset or platform.

Competitive landscapes · Trial comparisons · Market context · Catalyst monitoring

Technology transfer & partnerships

How could a discovery become a development opportunity?

Explore applications for a technology, map patent and competitive evidence, and research potential partners. Build an opportunity brief that makes both the promise and the outstanding work clear.

Application assessments · Patent landscapes · Partner research · Commercialization briefs

Diligence, investment & M&A

What would strengthen, weaken or stop the case?

Investigate scientific, clinical, IP and commercial assumptions together. Compare an asset, pipeline or platform with alternatives, and prepare the unresolved questions for expert and investment review.

Evidence and risk maps · Scenario comparisons · Diligence questions · Decision memos

See what changes
the case.

A headline value is only a starting point. Inspect the assumptions, downside and alternatives. Compare what the science supports with what the economics require.

Evidence stays visible. Trace the premise back to its sources and keep contradictory findings in view.

Assumptions stay explicit. Review probability, timing, cost, revenue and constraints before relying on an output.

Uncertainty stays in the case. Compare scenarios and missing evidence instead of treating one estimate as certainty.

Analyze your data.
Investigate the biology.

Bring your experimental files and the question you want to test. ARiDA prepares and runs an analysis, then helps you interpret it against the literature and biological databases.

Start with the experimental design
Define the comparison and biological replicates before fitting. Review diagnostics, effect sizes and multiple-testing results with the complete tables.
Keep the analysis files
Inspect the code, settings and figures alongside the results. Supported methods also return fitted R objects, input hashes and software versions.

Full results · Sample QC · Fitted R model

Paper verification and citation checks

Check papers against PubMed
PMID verification queries PubMed for the paper’s title, authors, journal and date. These records help you catch invented references or details attached to the wrong paper.
Trace citations to the evidence
Writer reports link numbered citations to source records and specific findings through a citation map. Validators check reference details, evidence links and supplied quotes; writer contracts check the report and map together.

Bioinformatics methods

Choose a method, or describe the study and ask ARiDA to help select one.

RNA & spatial biology

Bulk RNA-seq · Single-cell RNA-seq · Spatial transcriptomics

Fit expression contrasts, compare conditions by biological sample and examine spatial patterns.

Epigenomics & genetics

Chromatin accessibility · DNA methylation · Variant & cancer genomics · Statistical genetics

Assess differential accessibility or methylation, inspect variants and run association, fine-mapping or colocalization analyses.

Proteins, metabolites & microbiomes

Proteomics · Metabolomics · Microbiome analysis

Compare measured abundances, inspect sample quality and analyze microbial diversity.

Preparation & sequence analysis

Bioinformatics analysis · Sequencing read processing · Phylogenetic analysis

Choose a method for your files, check and prepare reads, or align sequences and infer evolutionary trees.

Other research methods cover assay QC and dose-response, PK, biochemical kinetics, microscopy, statistical and survival analysis, pathway enrichment, cheminformatics and structural biology.

R, Bioconductor and Python

Run a packaged method or adapt the code to your study. The environment supports compatible libraries and document tools for lab reports, manuscript drafts and presentations.

Large whole-genome pipelines, GPU work and very large datasets need suitable external compute.

A main agent and
a specialist team.

In Free-flow, your main agent scopes the task and delegates work as needed. Independent tasks can run in parallel; you can change direction while the investigation is underway.

You set the question

Bring files, choose a method or describe the result you need. Tell the main agent when the scope changes.

Specialists research and analyze

Call on literature, biological-database, SQL, web, clinical, patent, regulatory and grant specialists, with separate agents for data analysis, valuation and writing.

Inspect a result and keep working

Open the tables, code and reports in the canvas. Ask for a revision or resume a specialist with a follow-up; the working files remain with the conversation.

For example, a literature specialist can collect papers while the analysis agent works on your dataset. Once their work is ready, a writer can prepare a report with citations to the sources and results.

More structure,
when you need it.

For a defined study, use a methodology with explicit inputs, assumptions and output checks. Studios complement open-ended work; they do not prescribe how every question must be approached.

Explore the Studios

Target Studio

Does this target deserve the next investment?

Assemble target identity, disease biology, mechanism, tractability, safety and clinical precedent. ARiDA shows which evidence strengthens the thesis, which evidence blocks it and what should be learned next.

Target evidence and contradiction map

Drug Studio

Should this asset advance, defer, stop, be licensed or be passed?

Keep molecular developability, mechanism, clinical evidence, safety, competitive analogues, regulatory context, IP evidence and business assumptions inside the same asset case.

Asset 360 decision case

Indication Studio

Where should this asset go next?

Compare scientific admissibility, clinical feasibility, differentiation, economics and execution constraints without hiding a weak dimension inside one composite score.

Admissible indication shortlist

Valuation Studio

What is the defensible value range, and what moves it?

Connect scientific and clinical assumptions to rNPV, Monte Carlo distributions, real options and value of information. Reviewers can inspect an assumption and rerun the affected case.

Risk-adjusted value distribution

Portfolio Studio

Which programs should receive capital now?

Evaluate assets against strategy, cash, capacity, shared scientific risk, timing and available options. Keep credible alternatives and dominated choices visible for the committee.

Portfolio risk and correlation view

Patent Studio

Which IP evidence changes the business decision?

Connect patent-family, ownership, claim-theme, exclusivity and proceeding evidence to lifecycle, transaction and competitive questions. Patent Studio prepares evidence for business and counsel review. It does not provide legal opinions or clearance conclusions.

Patent-family and ownership map

Follow the evidence
across disciplines.

Follow a target from biological evidence to trials, patents and company activity. Database tools, web research and your own files supply different parts of that investigation.

Know what supports
the conclusion.

Useful decision support makes the reasoning available for challenge. It does not remove the need for scientific, financial or legal judgment.

Model-provider privacy. Our standard Fireworks inference uses zero data retention and does not use your prompts or responses for model training. ARiDA saves your chats and files separately so you can return to your work.

Sources & citations
Inspect the source material. Bibliographic and report-writing checks help catch invalid references and inconsistent citations.
Assumptions & calculations
Review the inputs, code and scenarios behind a result. Separate evidence from an assumption that still needs testing.
Gaps & decision rules
Governed studies retain unmet requirements and methodology-specific checks. Missing evidence must not become a fabricated conclusion.
Data & responsibility
Use authorized material and review access and data-handling requirements. Your team retains judgment, review and approval.

Questions about your work or the beta?

Talk to us
Can I use ARiDA for scientific research and business decisions?

Yes. Work can range from a literature question or dataset analysis to a competitive landscape, indication assessment, valuation or portfolio comparison. Researchers, TTOs, consultants, biotech and pharma teams can use the same underlying workspace. You do not need to turn a research question into an investment case.

Does every task follow a fixed workflow?

No. Free-flow lets you explore, bring files, change direction and ask follow-up questions. Reusable methods can guide a particular task. Governed Studios add defined inputs, calculations and review requirements for supported studies; they are an option, not a prerequisite for using ARiDA.

What is the difference between Free-flow and a Studio?

Free-flow is an open-ended conversation with tools, specialist agents and a persistent canvas. A Studio applies a defined methodology to a particular scientific or business question, with explicit assumptions, evidence requirements and output checks. Studio availability depends on the beta configuration and the inputs required for the study.

Can I bring my own data, papers and models?

Yes. Upload supporting files and work with them alongside available sources. ARiDA can write and run analysis code, create editable documents and retain the working files. Use material you have permission to process, and discuss data handling and access requirements with us before uploading sensitive information.

How can I check the work?

Inspect the sources, code, assumptions and working files behind an output. Bibliographic and report-writing checks help catch invalid references and citation inconsistencies. Governed studies add methodology-specific validation.

Does ARiDA replace scientific, financial or legal judgment?

No. ARiDA supports the analysis and preparation behind a decision. Your team remains responsible for the assumptions, interpretation and approval. Patent research prepares evidence and questions for qualified counsel; it is not a legal opinion or a clearance conclusion.

How do I try the beta?

Request access and tell us what you would like to work on. We will follow up by email to discuss access and the capabilities relevant to your work. Existing users can sign in directly.
