Ligo Biosciences
ActiveEnzyme design models.
This company has previously operated under “Ligo”, “Ligo Bio”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
About
We are building the next generation of deep-learning models for enzyme design to slash the cost of chemical manufacturing. The $6 trillion chemical industry is flawed: It produces 20% of industrial greenhouse gases, and is responsible for 15% of global energy usage. Enzymes offer a far more sustainable alternative to chemical synthesis and have already revolutionised how a select few chemicals are produced. The problem is each enzyme takes years of trial and error to develop. Our enzyme models learn the principles of catalysis, allowing us to design enzymes for each reaction, in days not years.

I'm a biochemist from Oxford University with experience in the intensive environment of biotech startups, working on everything from bacterial biofuel production to vaccine design. Now focused on designing enzymes to make the chemical industry more sustainable.
Founder at Ligo (S24). I studied Cell and Systems Biology at Oxford where I became a Google Cloud Research Innovator for my work in computational biology. Interested in deep learning, scaling laws, geometric DL, biomolecular design.
