About Us

We are a team of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs

Biota works at the intersection of microbiology, genomics, bioinformatics, earth- and environmental sciences to develop innovative solutions to improve the economics of industrial processes while reducing the environmental footprint.

Biota pioneers Biosurveillance across industries, unlocking microbes as a powerful, innovative & ever-present data source, closing critical data gaps. We built the platform to unlock the rich information embedded in the RNA/DNA of microbes from the most challenging environments with our proprietary lab processes, data science workflows, and analysis techniques. We deliver and continue to develop unique insights and applications through sophisticated data integration and embedded domain expertise.

Biota has created an estimated $400M in value, reduced 120,000t CO2 and 160M gallons of water across multiple industries. The range of Biosurveillance solutions continues to evolve across industries as we continue to unlock this powerful data source.
