About Scala Biodesign
Scala is developing an advanced computational platform for protein design to meet the rising demand for protein-based products in various markets, from therapeutics and enzymes for sustainable chemistry to FoodTech and others. Scala aims to streamline the complex process of transforming natural proteins into commercial products by optimizing properties like potency,
cost-of-goods, and resistance to industrial conditions. The basis for Scala’s solution was developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The technology showed success in solving highly challenging protein-engineering problems across diverse applications, including vaccines, drug development, biofuel production and waste decomposition. Scala was founded in 2022 with seed investment from TLV Partners and is based in Tel Aviv.
