Armenteros

Armenteros is an AI-driven biotechnology company specializing in the design and optimization of protein secretion. Founded by Jose Juan Almagro Armenteros, the creator of the industry-standard SignalP software, the company leverages deep learning to decode the complex signals that govern how proteins are transported and secreted by cells. By engineering optimized signal peptides and secretion motifs, Armenteros aims to significantly increase the yields and stability of recombinant proteins, including monoclonal antibodies and enzymes. Their platform technology addresses critical bottlenecks in biomanufacturing and the development of difficult-to-express therapeutic proteins. The company operates at the intersection of generative AI and synthetic biology to expand the functional universe of engineered biomolecules.
