MesoLab
For the lab bench
Dose-response analysis that keeps every decision visible, from plate layout to IC50.
A viability assay looks like one number at the end. Underneath are a dozen choices: controls, empty wells, normalisation, which points to exclude. In a spreadsheet those choices disappear. MesoLab runs offline, walks through import, quality checks, normalisation and 4PL fitting, and keeps the reason for every exclusion next to the result.
Sample plate, compound X on one cell line, 8 doses. Tap a dose to exclude or restore it.
With all eight doses the fit gives an IC50 of 5.2 µM. Excluding the 3 µM well, which read 78% where its neighbours read 72% and 17%, gives 2.0 µM.

AEDA
For everyone else
An assistant for people who don’t like computers. You say what you need; it asks before it changes anything.
Most AI tools assume you already know your way around. AEDA is for a teacher with a worksheet due tomorrow or someone with a difficult email to answer. It works where you already are, in Word and in your browser, and explains each step in plain words.
AEDA
Your worksheet is ready. Shall I save it?
Fractions worksheet.docx in Documents › School
A preview of how AEDA asks. The wording in the real app may differ.
“Make a worksheet on fractions for my class tomorrow. Two pages, with an answer key.”
AEDA writes it as a normal Word document you can open, change and print.
“Help me answer my landlord about the broken heating. Polite, but firm.”
AEDA drafts the reply. You read it, change what you like and send it yourself.

Bench scientist and programmer
I started programming at fourteen, then studied bioengineering. Both products come from watching careful people fight tools that should help them.
MesoLab grew out of my work at the Ruhrlandklinik in Essen.
