Overview

LILA Catalyst is a discovery-focused platform access model designed for R&D teams in the life sciences who want to accelerate their existing research programs. By providing direct access to Lila Iris™ and AI Science Factories™, alongside a team of scientific experts, Catalyst enables organisations to design, run, and interpret more experiments in less time — transforming current programs into faster, higher-confidence discovery engines.

Catalyst is built around LILA's vision of Scientific Superintelligence™, combining proprietary AI capabilities with on-demand laboratory services to help partners expand experimental throughput, reduce cycle times, and redirect internal scientific talent toward higher-value strategic work.

Key Platform Capabilities

  • Direct access to Lila Iris™, LILA's proprietary AI platform powered by Scientific Superintelligence™
  • Access to AI Science Factories™ for scalable, automated experimental execution
  • Support from over 25 world-class researchers drawn from world-leading organisations
  • DNA Design Agent delivering 100% agent performance and a 900-fold increase in experimental validation

R&D Transformation Through Lab-as-a-Service

  • Partners gain access to LILA's Lab-as-a-Service (LaaS™), converting fixed lab capacity and capital expenditure into a flexible, on-demand resource
  • Expanded experimental throughput without the overhead of maintaining complex lab workflows
  • Reduced discovery cycle times, enabling faster progression through research programs
  • Internal scientists are freed to focus on strategy, experimental design decisions, and downstream development rather than routine lab operations

Partnership Structure and Discovery Model

  • Catalyst is structured as a partnership model, integrating LILA's AI and laboratory capabilities directly into a partner's existing R&D activity
  • Combines AI-driven experiment design and interpretation with access to expert scientific support
  • Designed to accelerate programs already underway, rather than replacing internal teams

Catalyst is positioned as an entry point into LILA's broader platform ecosystem, giving R&D organisations a practical route to integrating AI-driven science and on-demand laboratory capacity into their discovery workflows without disrupting existing operations.
