VAN HERON LABS

Utilizing the power
of genetics, bioinformatics, and AI to unify nutrient substrates with metabolic fingerprints.

CHEMICALLY-DEFINED

Ser-X media optimization
services help you optimize your cultures.

THE PROBLEM:

Cell performance depends on the nutrient profile of growth media. Instead of relying on recipes that have been around since the beginning, we combine advanced computing innovations with comprehensive genetic profiles to take the guesswork out of media optimization. Our platform determines optimal large and small molecules for cells in less time.

OUR SOLUTION:

The optimal nutrient profile for each bacterial strain and mammalian cell type is written in its DNA, or more specifically RNA. We use advanced bioinformatics and AI tools to evaluate the entire transcriptome for a prioritized map of macro-, micro-nutrients and large molecules that push cells past mere survival to optimized performance.

"Overall, this project has been very insightful for us. It allowed us to explore new ingredient avenues that we hadn’t considered previously. These insights from VHL become crucial for us as we have expanded testing in whole new cells in the coming months. These insights could certainly have potential applications in developing bioassays for our broader media optimization system… It has been a pleasure for us to test this ingredient optimization approach, and we’re grateful for the partnership and support from your team as well. We value this collaboration and hope we can continue exploring these opportunities together."
