We leverage the power of AI to establish a deeper, holistic understanding of natural biology.
- Access and characterize never-before-seen natural chemistry.
- Screen for activity and mechanism across many diseases in parallel using a suite of AI-powered assays.
- Create better, optimized drug leads using deep learning models.
- Rapidly scale for downstream R&D.

We are overturning a stone in natural product drug discovery, capturing biology that has historically been missed, as it exists in nature.
Conventional fungal collections have been derived almost exclusively from soil. We are exploring fungi from fruiting bodies, animals, insects & plants, where community interactions drive the production of unique bioactive chemistry with increased relevance to human physiology. Our collection is rich in exotic species, with 30% of strains having no match in any public database.
Fungi in the wild are known to produce unique chemistry, different from that cultured in the lab. We embedded a one-of-a-kind, off-grid research station in a temperate rainforest on Vancouver Island to analyze the chemistry of wild fungi growing in their natural environment, providing real-time access to fleeting fruiting bodies and the molecules they produce. On-site processing, fractionation, and therapeutic profiling capabilities, unmatched in the life science sector, enable us to rapidly screen and characterize never-before-seen bioactive compounds.
