Guanaco Labs is a multidisciplinary engineering team. We design instruments, software, and biological systems that move a problem from the bench to a real, working product.
Most hard problems in biotech sit between fields. We keep mechanical, software, biological, and regulatory engineers under one roof so the handoffs disappear.
Instruments, fluidics, and lab hardware designed for repeatability and manufacture.
Models, pipelines, and interfaces that turn experimental data into decisions.
Assay development and wet-lab systems that generate clean, model-ready data.
Quality and compliance designed in from day one, not bolted on at the end.
A growing portfolio of in-house products and custom systems we develop with partners. Vicuna is our flagship.
Nanobody design software that predicts binding for nanobody–antigen pairs and runs virtual screens across natural repertoires and de novo designs — surfacing the binders worth making before they reach the bench.
Partner with our team to take a specific problem — an instrument, a model, an assay — from concept to a validated, transferable system.
→ Scoped per engagementWe're continually spinning up new tools at the intersection of our four disciplines. Tell us where the science is hard — that's usually where we start.
→ Propose a collaborationEvery engagement runs the same disciplined cycle — and each pass through it makes the next one faster.
Frame the real constraint with the people closest to it.
Model the system across hardware, software, and biology.
Prototype fast, instrument everything, keep it transferable.
Test against the bench until the data is clean and repeatable.
Bake in quality and regulatory rigor from the first sketch.
Our team has built across four disciplines — and the value is in the overlap. When a regulatory question shapes a mechanical choice early, the whole project moves faster.
