Glossary

Key terms used across this blueprint. For architecture detail, start with LabOS Agentic Architecture.

Platform & agents

TermDefinition
LabOSAgentic lab operating system — five-agent mesh (Hypothesis, Design, Execution, QC/Validator, Learning) that produces the experimental graph.
Experimental graphTyped, provenance-signed DAG of lab operations; every datapoint tied to the chain that produced it.
OmicsOSMultiomics AI layer — WGS/WES, scRNA-seq, spatial, proteomics — feeding hypotheses into LabOS.
ClinicalBridgeRegulatory translation layer — CDSCO, FDA, TGA, PMDA dossiers and bridging packages.
Execution BrokerLabOS component routing experiment nodes to qualified CRO/cloud-lab partners via the capability registry.
Protocol IRTyped intermediate representation for lab operations — stable contract between Design and Execution agents.
Capability registry“npm for lab ops” — manifests of what each CRO/instrument supports, for smart routing.

Discovery & data

TermDefinition
DBTLDesign-Build-Test-Learn — closed-loop cycle compressed by agentic orchestration.
India Biomarker AtlasProprietary biomarker database on Apollo substrate — see dedicated page.
Discovery SprintTime-boxed, milestone-gated program (90 days to 18 months) powered by LabOS end-to-end.
CDxCompanion diagnostic — test paired with a therapeutic to identify patients likely to respond.
NAMsNew Approach Methodologies — organoids, organ-on-chip, 3D culture replacing animal testing.
PGxPharmacogenomics — how genetic variants affect drug response (e.g. CYP2C19, VKORC1 in Indian populations).

Infrastructure & strategy

TermDefinition
FALFully Autonomous Lab — robotic wet-lab execution. We partner in Phase 1; own pods in Phase 2+. See Build vs Partner.
LIMSLaboratory Information Management System — STARLIMS, LabWare, Benchling, etc. LabOS integrates as sidecar first.
BioHelixSingapore APAC node — MiRXES i4.0 wet lab, Biopolis ecosystem, India–Singapore corridor. See BioHelix page.
DPDP Act 2023India Digital Personal Data Protection Act — governs patient data; drives sovereign model requirement.
Closed-loop discovery cycleNorth Star unit: hypothesis → design → execute → validate insight. See KPIs.
