We apply computation to biology to code cells for health.
We are driven and ambitious in building a scalable technology platform capable of producing consistent batches of every human cell. We are democratising access to high-quality human cells for research, drug discovery and a new generation of cures.
We innovate discovery and partnerships.
Innovation is at the core of what we do. In addition to our breakthrough technology, we harness innovation in our business practices, pricing, and partnerships to protect people and the planet. We are creating new industries and long-term opportunities.
We revolutionise biomanufacturing and biomedical research.
We enable innovators to focus on what they do best, leveraging our cell coding platform to provide the cells. We are uncovering the “operating system of life”, transitioning biology to engineering, sharing genetic resources & knowledge globally, mobilising enterprise & finance on synthetic biology.
Our programmes
Sustainability Report
We are pleased to present our first annual sustainability report, which embodies our ongoing efforts to transparently communicate our goals and hold ourselves accountable to making progress each year. We provide an overview of our Corporate Sustainability Strategy and how tracking towards each of our aligned UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have 3 primary aligned SDGs (3, 9, 15), which are at the core of what we do, and 7 secondary SDGs to guide our current operations and future strategy. Additionally, we provide an update of our carbon footprint, in line with our commitment to the COP26 goals and the UN Race to Zero campaign. We are actively working towards our goal of achieving net zero prior to the 2050 deadline.
Race to Zero as part of COP26
bit.bio has joined the world’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis by joining the United Nations Race to Zero campaign and are committed to achieving net zero and beyond, ahead of the 2050 deadline. The commitment is part of the company’s mission to Code Cells for Novel Cures, where the business is built to do good and contribute to global sustainability from day one.
