Autodesk Life Sciences

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF PROTEIN ENGINEERING
With software that's easy for scientists to use, simple for coders to extend, and built with collaboration at its core, Autodesk Life Sciences is building a cloud platform for the next generation of biological design.

Head of Group:

Larry Peck

Overview

DESIGN · VISUALIZE · SIMULATE

Autodesk is a leader in design software.

Autodesk Life Sciences was founded on the idea that using software can be more intuitive, delightful, and productive when it is designed for the scientists who will use it. We delivered a single, integrated cloud-enabled software solution that enhances the disjointed and legacy systems used in today’s discovery process with the Autodesk Life Sciences Platform.

GENETIC CONSTRUCTOR An extensible toolkit for genetic engineering

Genetic Constructor brings powerful biological design and genetic engineering to the cloud. Designing genetic constructs is streamlined and intuitive, with tools that guide you from high-level genome sketches to base-pair editing. Combinatorics and integrated synthesis services bring your engineered biological systems to life, and an integrated plug-in framework lets you tailor the software for your specific design problems.

MOLECULE VIEWER Share, present, and collaborate on 3D molecular data.

Molecule Viewer is an online 3D visualization tool for modern scientists and students. Create, share, and present interactive, publication-quality 3D molecular walkthroughs in seconds. View your models anytime, anywhere, on your laptop, on your phone, or even in virtual reality.

MOLECULAR SIMULATION Molecular Modeling for everyone

Our growing molecular simulation suite enables scientists at all levels to discover, build, and deploy cutting edge simulation workflows. With a Python API for the experts, automated cloud-based workflows for the modelers, and intuitive graphical interfaces for everyone, we’re making simulation easier, more accessible, and more extensible than ever before. 

 

In 2018 we have decided to pause our efforts within the Life Sciences. All the projects on the page have been stopped.
