What is Biographia:

A gene discovery platform that uses machine learning and gene editing to rapidly identify and validate genetic modifications, accelerating crop improvement and addressing global food security.

Why it matters:

Feeding a growing global population amid climate change demands faster, more precise crop innovation—and unlocking the right genes to edit is the key to making it happen.

Why you should care:

Unlocking gene-editing’s full potential will transform food security, and platforms like this one can dramatically accelerate trait discovery, reduce costs, and enable the next generation of high-performing, climate-resilient crops.
