Colossal Biosciences

With a mission to restore Earth to a healthier state through biotechnology, Colossal Biosciences develops wetware, software, and hardware technologies for habitat conservation and species restoration. Specifically, the company advances genomic sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, and reproductive technologies to pursue de-extinction of organisms like the woolly mammoth, thylacine, dodo, and dire wolf. It aims to reintroduce these species back into their former habitats for ecosystem restoration and extend technologies to prevent the extinction of other endangered populations. The company has established partnerships with academic institutions and wildlife organizations globally to advance conservation biotechnology applications. Similar to how NASA’s space exploration led to commercially viable spinoff technologies in various industries, Colossal Biosciences creates commercial spinouts to bring its conservation biotechnologies to genomics and synthetic biology markets beyond restoration efforts.
