OUR EXPERIENCE

Our leadership team has deep experience in building successful teams to deliver scientific success and commercial value. Together we have assembled a dynamic multi-disciplinary team, dedicated to make enzyme design a reality.

experimentalists

Our team works at the intersect of AI and biology, We combine structural biologists, bioinformaticians and Machine Learning specialists with highly skilled experimentalists who capture high quality empirical data to feed back to our systems.

CREATIVELY EMPOWERED

Most importantly, our team is empowered to think creatively and find solutions to the most demand challenge of enzyme design.

LORd John browne
CHAIRMAN

Former CEO of BP, where he built the company into the world’s third-largest energy enterprise and created tens of billions of dollars in value. Founder of BeyondNetZero, a growth, climate fund. Former President of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Co-Chair of the UK Prime Minister’s Council on Science and Technology.
