“It is tempting to write the history of technology through products: the wheel; the microscope; the airplane; the Internet. But it is more illuminating to write the history of technology through transitions: linear motion to circular motion; visual space to subvisual space; motion on land to motion on air; physical connectivity to virtual connectivity” - Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History

At BioCompute we are spearheading the transition towards a biomolecule-powered storage and processing infrastructure.

Why make this transition?

  1. We are running out of space to store the data we are producing

  2. Our current data storage systems (aka data centers) consume massive amounts of energy and water - this is a threat to our planet

Why Now?

1. The increasing adoption of AI leading to an exponential increase in the amount of data we need to store and process
2. The cost of genome sequencing is falling exponentially
3. The advent of nanopore sequencers, lab-on-a-chip microfluidics platforms and DNA editing, and the possibility to bring them on a single platform

This once-in-a-generation confluence of ground-shattering technologies and associated phenomenon, makes now the right time to make the transition towards BioCompute.

What are you building?

We are building an end-to-end integrated microfluidics chip that enables us to write, read and store data in bacterial DNA. This is what we envision it to look like, with micro meter dimensions (which is similar to the size of our cells).
