Summary
Ligo Biosciences builds deep-learning models to design enzymes for chemical manufacturing. Founded by Edward Harris, Emily Egerton-Warburton, and Arda Goreci, who met at Oxford University, they solve the problem that traditional enzyme development takes years and costs tens of millions of dollars. Their models learn principles of catalysis from billions of protein sequences, enabling them to design enzymes in days rather than years. Ed previously founded a startup that reached $1M in annual revenue. They target the $6 trillion chemical industry, which produces 20% of industrial greenhouse gases.
