Responsible exploration of our planet's biodiversity towards discovery-enabled biodesign


Abstract

By partnering with biodiversity hotspots and biotechnology companies across the globe, Basecamp Research is addressing the systemic challenges that limit commercial biodiscovery to date. Through equitable benefit sharing arrangements around the world, Basecamp Research is combining distributed data collection capabilities with purpose-built graph architecture, which gives them a comprehensive and unique view of Earth's metagenome, allowing complex design problems to be addressed with ease. The team at Basecamp Research spans an enormous range of expertise, from explorers and diplomats to data scientists and biotech pioneers.
