About Us

Safeguarding the future of food
We’re on a mission to accelerate the development of more productive, sustainable, nutritious & climate-resilient food sources.
How? By building the world’s first ML-driven target discovery platform for crop gene-editing.
From drug target discovery to crop target discovery
While gene-editing of crops is becoming ever more efficient, identifying which genes to edit and how remains a significant challenge.
To overcome this bottleneck, we use cutting-edge deep learning to accurately and efficiently identify high value genetic targets for crop gene-editing.
Our approach draws inspiration from recent advancements in the drug discovery space, incorporating LLMs, transformers and graph-based technologies to build a best-in-class discovery platform for plant sciences.
Team
Led by co-founders Dom (CTO) and Cecy (CEO), we are now are a team of 7 including two ML engineers, a data engineer and two bioinformaticians. We also have a remote, part-time intern conducting ML research. We primarily work together in-person from our office in Spitalfields, London, 4 days per week.
