growing brain systems that learn
we're a biocomputing company growing large-scale neuronal tissue — living hardware with continual learning baked into the substrate.

early rollouts: our neurones learning to play Frogger
our pursuit
we're growing scalable brain systems — the next-gen hardware layer for biocomputing.
biological neural tissue is already being trained — on games, on next-token prediction — but wetware has been stuck at the ~1M neurone scale by the vascularisation problem: past a geometric limit, cells sit too far from an oxygen supply and die. we've developed a tissue-culture approach that breaks that limit.
that lets us grow far larger biological neural nets — with continual learning baked into the substrate, the sample efficiency of living neurones, and inference-time training that sits an abstraction layer above backprop. we provide the interface substrate and cloud infrastructure for third parties to train on our systems.
careers
we're a small team based in Cambridge, UK, and we're hiring exceptional engineers and researchers across neurobiology, electrophysiology, electrical engineering, and reinforcement learning.
