. | Van Heron Labs (VHL) The Cellular Intelligence Layer for Life Sciences Booth #1611 | vanheronlabs.com | contact@vanheronlabs.com — Van Heron Labs is transforming how biological processes are designed, optimized, and scaled. VHL has built the most powerful cellular intelligence engine ever created — the only end-to-end, multi-omic digital twin platform designed exclusively for cellular optimization. At the core of VHL’s platform is a proprietary system that decodes complete cellular biology — gene expression, metabolism, stress responses, and biomolecular needs across 17 molecular categories spanning thousands of compounds — and translates that data into a real-time biological digital twin. VHL identifies and predicts the impact of every critical biomolecule: metabolites, ions, trace metals, minerals, cofactors, growth factors, cytokines, ECM components, and more. The result: VHL customers see breakthrough improvements in titer, viability, potency, and manufacturability — faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional R&D. Proven across cell therapy, biologics, precision fermentation, and more: T cell therapies (CD4/CD8, TIL, Treg): 80% improved viability, 40% increase in activation, FOXP3 stability for greater potency — saving $25K–$60K per batch iPSC programs: ~25 critical ingredients identified, many absent from any commercial media — 10X cheaper than internal R&D, 5 months faster to clinic MSC programs: ~30 critical ingredients identified, resolving stress pathways and improving scale-up reliability — unlocking $25–80M in potential new media product revenue HEK / bioprocessing: 40–200% proliferation improvement, 900% cell density gains with process optimization, 360% higher protein titer Microbial (E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa): 200–400% proliferation increases, 200–360% higher titer, fully defined bioreactor media. How you can work with VHL: VHL offers four flexible engagement models — Analytics Only (1-week turnaround), Process Development Recommendations (1–2 weeks), Co-Development (3–10 weeks), and Strategic Partnerships for long-term innovation. All engagements begin with RNA-Seq or proteomics data and deliver interactive, publication-quality multi-omics reports, biological digital twins, and actionable recommendations your team can execute immediately. Backed by NVIDIA, Microsoft, and AWS, and trusted by dozens of life science companies, large and small. Who we’re looking to meet at BIO 2026: VHL is actively seeking strategic partnerships with CDMOs, CROs, reagent and culture media manufacturers, and asset-focused companies looking to improve manufacturing performance, reduce R&D burden, develop proprietary formulations, and unlock new revenue streams through the power of cellular intelligence.
