At Cognit, we are building a frontier AI model from ground-up, for generative biology that operates across different cell types and species. Our model enables high-resolution functional genomics and simulates biological cells in-silico. We incorporate closed-loop, in-silico gene and cell engineering and redefining paradigms in genomics research.At Cognit, we're not just creating technology; we're crafting experiences that revolutionize how we understand and interact with the world of genomics. It's about making the complex simple and unlocking possibilities that were once thought to be in the realm of science fiction.
