The search for new therapies is no longer bound by molecules alone. At Electrome, our discovery engine uses artificial intelligence and wet-lab data to identify bioelectric signals that heal, regenerate, and modulate biology—faster than traditional drug development ever could.
Why Signals, Not Molecules
Traditional pharmaceutical discovery is time-consuming, costly, and often fails due to off-target effects or poor tissue penetration. In contrast, bioelectric signals act at the level of cellular control—triggering ion channels, altering membrane potentials, and reshaping gene expression.
But unlike small molecules, electromagnetic signals don’t require manufacturing, metabolism, or chemical stability. They’re software-defined, infinitely tunable, and can be discovered with data—not guesswork.
That’s where our AI Discovery Engine comes in.
A Closed-Loop Engine for Bioelectric Intelligence
At the heart of Electrome is a powerful closed-loop platform that merges:
- Machine learning trained on cellular response data
- High-speed signal modeling and optimization
- Wet-lab hardware for rapid experimental validation
- A knowledge graph of biological-electrical interactions
Together, these components create a learning system that evolves with each test—refining its understanding of what signals work, why, and on which cell types.
From Signal Space to Therapy: How It Works
Define the Biological Goal
Our process begins by targeting a cellular objective—like reducing inflammatory cytokines, promoting wound healing, or inducing cancer cell apoptosis.
Search the Electrome Signal Space
The AI models explore a multidimensional space of frequencies, waveforms, durations, and pulse patterns. Millions of potential combinations are evaluated virtually, narrowing down to the most promising candidates.
Predict Cell-Specific Responses
Our models predict how each signal will affect specific cell types, leveraging training data from:
- Previous wet-lab experiments
- Peer-reviewed signal-response studies
- Biophysical models of membrane behavior
- AI-inferred mappings from our Electrome Knowledge Graph
Validate in the Lab
Predicted signals are pushed to our in-house stimulation hardware and tested on biological samples. Results are instantly fed back into the model to retrain and improve predictive accuracy.
This tight feedback loop reduces signal discovery time from months to days.
A New Paradigm in Therapeutic Development
Unlike pharmacology, where every new drug is a new molecule, every new Electrome therapy is a new signal—generated, simulated, and tested digitally. This transforms the economics of development:
| Traditional Drug Discovery | Electrome Signal Discovery |
| 7–12 years to market | 6–18 months to pilot-ready |
| $1B average cost | <$1M per signal program |
| Toxicity risks | Non-invasive, low risk |
| Synthesis & formulation | Software-defined signals |
Learning Across Indications
Because bioelectric pathways are conserved across tissues, our AI can generalize learnings across disease areas:
- A signal that promotes tissue regeneration in skin may also apply to mucosal repair.
- Signals that reduce TNF-alpha in macrophages may benefit autoimmune and neuroinflammatory conditions.
- A cancer apoptosis signal in one tumor type may translate to others via membrane potential targeting.
Each experiment, each data point strengthens the intelligence of the discovery engine.
The Future: Autonomous Signal Design
As the platform matures, we’re building toward fully autonomous signal design—where a user specifies a desired biological effect, and the AI:
- Searches the signal-effect graph
- Designs a candidate waveform
- Simulates response curves
- Pushes directly to the wet lab for confirmation
This is the blueprint for a new type of drug discovery: biological programming via signal.
Why It Matters
In the post-genomic era, we now understand that gene expression, inflammation, tissue repair, and even behavior are regulated by bioelectric fields. But navigating this invisible layer of biology requires tools that can see and shape it.
Electrome’s AI-powered engine gives us just that—a way to program biology at the speed of thought.
We are not just building a faster way to test signals.
We are building the future of therapeutic discovery itself.
