Lithuanian Team Nominated for European Inventor Prize for AI-Driven Enzyme Engineering

A Lithuanian team has been nominated for the European Patent Office's Young Inventors Prize 2025. The team developed an AI-driven enzyme engineering platform. This innovative approach designs enzymes from the ground up, atom by atom. Their method ensures precise control and higher efficiency. It also speeds up engineering cycles compared to traditional methods. The team's invention has earned them a spot among the top ten global innovators. They were selected from over 450 candidates by an independent jury. The "bottom-up" approach promises to revolutionize enzyme creation. This could have major implications for medicine, agriculture, and chemical production.
