Pioneering genetic design of next-generation food & farming solutions

🧬 Vision

A foundational platform for understanding non-human genomes, enabling on-demand genetic design of productive, sustainable and climate-resilient food & farming solutions


At Biographica, we are building the world’s first foundation-model-based platform for understanding genetics in non-human organisms. We’re harnessing this understanding to design next-generation food and farming solutions with unprecedented efficiency, from gene-edited crops to biopesticides and beyond. Our vision is a world in which agricultural R&D is no longer about experimental trial-and-error and observational discovery. Instead, it's powered by predictive, ML-driven design, revolutionising how we meet global food demands for a growing population on a changing planet.

🚀 Mission

Accelerate development of productive, nutritious & sustainable food sources


Starting with crop improvement, we’ve built the world’s first ML-driven target discovery platform for crop gene-editing.

Why❓

While gene-editing of crops is becoming ever more efficient, identifying which genes to edit and how remains a significant challenge. Our vision is to overcome this bottleneck, by becoming the foundational platform providing novel, high quality, contextualised gene-editing targets to the seed industry. In doing so, we will accelerate the development of more productive, nutritious and sustainable crops, enhancing both human and planetary health.

How❓

To fulfil our ambition, we’re taking inspiration from innovations in the drug discovery space to design ML-based solutions for target discovery in agriculture. Specifically, we’re developing a lab-in-the-loop platform which combines state-of-the-art ML and large-scale sequencing datasets to identify genetic targets in an accurate, explainable and actionable manner.

Having closed our pre-seed round in July 2023 and demonstrated proof-of-concept in early studies, we’re spending 2024 developing and validating our technology further, to create a first-in-class platform for gene discovery in plant sciences.
