BiotechOS
BiotechOS — an operating system for running a drug-discovery pipeline.
Core trick
A classifier routes each CRO email to a document-specific extractor, and no system state changes until a human approves the proposed action.
Description
BiotechOS — an operating system for running a drug-discovery pipeline.
What we built: A system that reads a drug program's real inbox — CRO emails, quotes, invoices, contracts, assay reports — and turns every message into a concrete action a human just approves. A classifier routes each email to a specialized processor that extracts exactly what that document type needs; nothing changes state until a human signs off. On top sits a molecule layer (registry gate → Molecule Database with live pass/fail against a Target Product Profile → deep-dive → structure modeling to design new analogs) and a memory layer: a time-stamped record of every fact, a self-linking entity graph, and an immutable decision log, all partitioned by program.
What we found: Most of a preclinical program's operational load — procurement, finance, legal, data QC, molecule tracking — is coordination that frontier AI plus domain-specific software can absorb, with the human kept as the approver, not the operator.
Why it matters: AI and outsourcing have collapsed the cost of doing the science, but not the headcount needed to coordinate it. BiotechOS attacks that coordination tax directly, so one person can run a whole pipeline, not just a project.

# BiotechOS > ### ▶ Live demo — [**biotechos-frontend.onrender.com**](https://biotechos-frontend.onrender.com/) > A fully interactive, fictional **KRAS G12C** program — inbox, registry, molecule database, modeling, and budget. No login, no keys required. > *The operating system for a drug-discovery program — inbox to modeling, one human-in-the-loop.* --- ## The Problem Two forces — AI and outsourcing — have dramatically lowered the cost of doing the science of drug discovery, from discovery through the clinic. But the FTEs a biotech needs to scale haven't fallen because headcount is how you buy judgment and the capacity to coordinate more tasks in parallel. BiotechOS drives these costs toward zero: frontier-AI judgment plus biotech-specific coordination as software, so one person can run a whole pipeline, not a project. ## Our Solution Using domain-specific coding, BiotechOS turns every inbox message into a concrete action a human just approves, leaving time to focus on science. The OS synthesizes, drafts, computes, and tracks; the human decides and signs. It stores decisions and data, giving the user the ability to quickly find relevant information, determine progress toward their product profile, manage their molecules, even generate new molecule designs to close the AI-assisted design → make → test loop. ## Workflows We Support - **Data intake** — CRO email → QC extraction → approval → database - **Procurement** — quote → PO → invoice → reconcile → budget updates -
