TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: SignalGen

Solicitation # S-195368

SignalGen is a generative AI platform developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, offered under solicitation S-195368, that predicts the optimal signal peptide for specific proteins to ensure they reach the correct cellular compartment or are secreted effectively. Utilizing a protein language model trained on thousands of proteins and their associated signal peptides, the system considers the protein, the target location, and the organism to generate predictions with approximately 90 percent accuracy. The platform is particularly valuable for AI-designed de novo proteins and features a natural-language interface via an AI agent, removing the need for complex programming or scripting. Currently at Technology Readiness Level 3 with a pending U.S. patent, SignalGen is available for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing through the Richard P. Feynman Center for Innovation. The technology has broad market applications in therapeutic protein development, vaccine research, drug discovery, biomanufacturing, synthetic biology, and industrial biotechnology. Interested parties must respond by March 22, 2027, to the Department of Energy contractor, Triad, with the primary point of contact being Satya Srinivasan.
