Biosortia Microbiomics is a drug discovery company focused on industrial-scale microbiome mining. They leverage their proprietary technology to harvest and screen novel small molecules directly from natural microbiomes. These molecules are biologically pre-optimized and serve as starting points for life science applications. Biosortia also out-licenses its exclusive database of microbiome data to organizations using machine learning and artificial intelligence for discovery. Their offerings include screening novel small molecules, out-licensing data for AI/analytics, and selling rare small molecules from their library. They aim to impact therapeutics, agrochemicals, sustainability, and more by accessing nature's pre-optimized small molecules, disrupting traditional drug discovery pipelines.
