Innovating to Address Global Challenges

Our SEEDesign™ technology platform addresses the immense biological complexity of plants through the latest innovations in genomics, artificial intelligence and multiplex gene editing.

Through analysis of diverse, ever-growing data sets, we work to pinpoint exactly which edits and edit types will have the most positive impacts at specific locations within a crop's DNA structure. We then execute these edits - all at the same time.

The result: accelerated crop improvement.

GROUNDED IN DIVERSITY

Diverse Expertise from Across the Spectrum

Diversity underpins not only our approach to SEEDesign™, but our entire operation. After all, it is nature's most powerful tool. By combining groundbreaking ideas from multiple disciplines, we constantly push boundaries and expand our abilities, generating new solutions to some of humanity's biggest challenges.
