We use AI, DNA sequencing, and synthetic biology to culture novel microbial species
We screen our novel microbes for new classes of antimicrobials that are safe, effective, and bypass resistance
MICROBIAL GENERATION PLATFORM
Microbes grow in micro-communities
There are 10.000 microbial species in a gram of soil. Each microbe is dependent on their specific micro-communities and have specific growth requirements
We use next generation sequencing and wetlab experiments to generate data on which microbes grow together under which condition

The Challenge
Organic chemistry offers near-infinite configurations. Evolution optimizes for the best solutions - but gaining access to these solutions is complex and the data is noisy
Our Platform & Impact
We unlock substantial new areas of nature and control the data generation from soil to compounds
Our strong data focus means our agentic AI model Fleming can steer discovery - compressing timelines from decades to months
By optimizing and recombining our discovered new chemistries, we deliver the next generation of safe, effective, and biodegradable products built for global impact
