Bioinnovation at AI-speed
A growing contaminant burden is accumulating across our environment
Emerging contaminants
Medicine residues, pesticides, hormones, nanoplastics, microbes and heavy metals that conventional filtration was never designed to remove.
Growing chemical burden
New synthetic molecules enter water systems faster than purification infrastructure can adapt.
Inefficient treatment
Expensive, energy-intensive methods with broad removal but limited molecular specificity.
We develop AI-designed proteins ("binders") that act as biosensors and filters to capture specific molecules, substances or pathogens in water.
LivingFilters: precision capture
at molecular level
Red: target molecule
Pink/white: custom binder
Platform technology
The target molecule
(shown in red)
serves as the seed for the
AI design process. This is the compound we want to capture or detect.
Backbone design model
AI generates the initial protein backbone structure - the fundamental shape that will wrap around and bind to the target molecule.
Prediction Model
The final structure prediction validates the designed protein and confirms its ability to precisely capture the target molecule in a secure binding pocket.
Sequence design model
The sequence design model determines the exact amino acid sequence needed to create the protein structure with optimal binding properties.
Applications
Binder-integrated filtration modules built into yeast-based materials for highly selective removal of contaminants. By combining biological systems with AI-designed binders, we achieve efficient purification with low environmental impact.
Our modular platform integrates into existing water and industrial infrastructure, solving complex purification challenges with precision.
Advanced water treatment: Molecular Filtration
AI-powered biosensing for rapid, reliable detection of molecules in water systems and food supply chains. Using AI-designed binders, our technology enables real-time, multiplex detection of multiple targets simultaneously.
Our solutions include plate-based probe assays and rapid test kits that combine high sensitivity with operational simplicity, supporting both laboratory analysis and field deployment.
Advanced Molecular Detection
Is your company in need of a custom-designed molecule?
Founded in 2025 in Malmö, LivingFilters is built by a multidisciplinary team combining scientific depth and operational execution. The core team brings experience in AI-driven protein design, experimental biology, and entrepreneurship with hands-on experience in building teams and driving commercial execution.
Supported by an advisory board with deep expertise in water engineering, sustainability, AI-driven technology, investment, and infrastructure, the team is structured to turn advanced biology into solutions that can be validated, deployed, and scaled in real-world environments.
We are united by a shared belief that sustainability requires radically better technology, developed fast enough to matter.
