About the Company

Bactobio is a London-based biotechnology company. We were founded in 2020 and have raised over £6m todate. We use breakthrough technologies in synthetic biology, next-generation sequencing, and machine learning to cultivate the 99% of previously unculturable microbes. These microbes constitute the biggest bioresource in life, and our exclusive access allows us to discover novel chemicals that can be applied across a variety of markets.

We are impact-driven. Our first goal is to solve the growing antimicrobial resistance crisis through novel antibiotics and stabilise global food security through novel natural biodegradable fungicides.

We prioritize in-office work for fostering collaboration, with most of our computational team in our Vauxhall office 4 days a week. We’re flexible when it matters, but this role is not suitable for someone seeking a fully remote position.
