ABOUT US
MISSION
Making human microbiology computable
Making human microbiology computable
Most biological frontier models focus on what's encoded in human DNA. But our health is shaped by interactions between human and microbial biology, a layer that remains largely unmodelled.
Outpost Bio is building AI at this interaction layer. Our lab-in-the-loop platform combines high-throughput wet-lab assays with machine learning in a continuous feedback loop; models learn from experimental results and guide the next round of testing. The result: safer, more effective drugs, ingredients, and interventions, designed with a fuller picture of the biology that drives outcomes.
