Mysteries of Mycology

With less than 1% of fungal chemistries explored, the fungal kingdom remains a vast, untapped source of promising compounds. We use metabologenomics and machine learning to efficiently screen the chemical space of fungi.

For a Healthy Future

Groundbreaking medicines like penicillin, cyclosporin, and statins were all discovered from fungi. We identify the most promising fungal molecules as starting points to develop life-saving therapeutics.

Our technology

We are creating a comprehensive map of fungal chemistry through metabologenomics,
predicting chemical structures and properties using deep learning, and annotating compounds
with drug-like potential to revolutionize fungal natural product discovery.

Genomics

Selecting the most interesting strains for bioactive molecule production, using fungal genomics combined with mycological intuition.

Metabolomics

Identifying the small molecules produced by cultured fungal strains, using computational metabolomic tools.

Molecule Profiling

Prioritising the most drug-like compounds for further development through ML-driven chemical properties predictions.
