Today, we are pleased to announce a research partnership with Syngenta Seeds (Syngenta), one of the world’s leading agricultural technology companies. The focus of this partnership will be on screening a targeted genetic library for novel trait discovery. The results of this research are intended to inform future seed trait development so that farmers can grow healthier and more resilient crops.
Syngenta will leverage our extensive protein engineering capabilities and proprietary ultra high-throughput screening technologies to complement and accelerate their efforts to design and develop innovative plant traits.
We are excited to leverage our proprietary ultra high-throughput single-cell encapsulation and screening platform to support Syngenta’s development efforts to bring the next generation of innovative products to farmers. As we tackle agriculture’s greatest challenges, we’re excited to partner with global leaders like Syngenta and empower them to solve some of the most pressing challenges facing agriculture worldwide.
Innovative research partnerships of this kind are becoming more common in agriculture as the industry better understands the value of cross-pollinating expertise and capabilities across diverse industries.
