About the Company

You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research, and help get cures to patients sooner.

We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production - the most manual process in Biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to treat cancer too. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.

We're live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US and have raised $19 million to expand into the market faster and accelerate our development!

We’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as Airbnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
