At EMS Genomics, we merge engineering with systems biology to overcome the challenges of complexity and scale in natural product drug discovery.

We merge engineering with systems biology to overcome the challenges of complexity and scale in natural product drug discovery.

Natural products possess unmatched chemical diversity and compatibility with life.

  • Single-celled and other plants have the ability to synthesize an almost limitless variety of natural compounds
  • A high proportion of biochemical architecture is common to all species, and is evolutionarily optimized with biological coherence

Natural products possess unmatched chemical diversity and compatibility with life.

  • Single-celled and other plants have the ability to synthesize an almost limitless variety of natural compounds
  • A high proportion of biochemical architecture is common to all species, and is evolutionarily optimized with biological choherence

However, identification and screening of natural products has posed challenges.

  • Pharmaceutical industry is geared towards high throughput screening and synthetic/combinatorial libraries
  • It is challenging to cultivate target molecules and organisms at scale because of complex relationships with biological systems

We explore diverse plant and microbial species which demonstrate unique organism fitness traits. Our platform then isolates the biochemical and genetic basis for their specific evolutionary advantage.
