Arcadia Science is an Emeryville, California–based research and technology organization founded in 2021 that aims to make biological discovery more systematic by combining evolutionary insights with an iterative compute-to-bench loop. The company’s work is organized around a closed-loop R&D model: (1) target discovery using evolutionary structure, (2) model selection by matching disease biology to more human-relevant research organisms, (3) biologics/protein design using evolutionary principles and statistical fitness/function models, and (4) technology development via assays and organism-agnostic tools to test predictions.
A differentiating element is Arcadia’s approach to publishing and open tool release. The company describes its research hub as a way to reimagine scientific publication by sharing ideas, protocols, and data sets with no barriers to access, and by publishing modular “smaller” units to speed community learning and reuse. In addition to publishing, Arcadia develops practical infrastructure tools aimed at making experiments easier to reproduce, share, and re-use in workflows and (in their framing) AI-agent contexts—for example, Data Hub (lab instrument run capture and access via web, REST API, and MCP).
