Gelly Bio

Gelly is a tamper-proof digital lab book designed specifically for synthetic biologists, available on iOS and Android. The platform goes beyond simple record-keeping, offering intelligent tools for planning, executing, and analyzing experiments — with the goal of reducing failed experiments, particularly when transferring traits between organisms to generate high-quality hypotheses.

Gelly serves researchers and teams working across a range of synthetic biology applications, including the development of novel therapeutics, production of sustainable chemicals, and pioneering of new materials. By empowering scientists to mix and match nature's best biological features, Gelly helps create optimized microbial workhorses tailored to specific applications.

Key Capabilities for Trait Transfer Between Organisms

• Boost Metabolic Flux: Identify and overexpress rate-limiting enzymes from diverse source organisms to increase the supply of key precursors and improve overall pathway efficiency.
• Insert Novel Pathways: Integrate entirely new biosynthetic pathways into host organisms to unlock new functional capabilities.
• Conquer Harsh Conditions: Harness acid, temperature, and radiation resistance skills from resilient microbes to engineer more robust strains.
• Streamline Downstream Processing: Apply biological traits that simplify and improve the efficiency of downstream processing workflows.

Intelligent Experiment Planning and Execution

• Improved Experimental Design: Gelly integrates data from scientific literature, biological databases, and simulations, providing a comprehensive knowledge base that supports more informed and effective experimental design.
• Data Analysis and Visualization: An intuitive interface allows synthetic biologists to explore and visualize experimental data, enabling data-driven decisions and accelerating the iterative design-build-test cycle.
• Reproducibility and Standardization: Gelly provides a centralized platform for documenting experimental protocols, data, and results in a standardized format, promoting reproducibility across experiments and teams.

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

• Real-Time Collaboration: Teams can work together simultaneously within the platform, reducing communication barriers and fostering a culture of open science.
• Version Control: Full version control ensures that changes to protocols and data are tracked, maintaining a reliable and auditable record of experimental history.
• Secure Access Management: Role-based and secure access controls enable cross-functional teams to collaborate safely while protecting sensitive research data.

Gelly brings together the rigor of a tamper-proof lab book with the intelligence of a modern research platform, making it a comprehensive solution for synthetic biology teams looking to accelerate discovery and minimize experimental failure.
