Technology
Resurrect Bio
The three pillars
-
FloraFold®
Our proprietary protein-protein AI prediction tool has been trained specifically on plant <> pathogen interactions to better predict potential hits.
-
Rapid In-Planta Screening
Our rapid in-plant platform screens potential hits from FloraFold® at speed, landing us targets 10x faster than traditional methods.
-
Resurrection
Our signature Resurrection technology is applied to targets, restoring immunity, and locking out pests and pathogens.
The premise
Pathogens suppress immune responses
Pathogens evolve to suppress the immune response of the crop, leading to disease.
We break the interaction
We Resurrect the immune system, locking the pathogen out of the crop.
