Our groundbreaking evolution steering platform is powering the bioeconomy.

Cells are some of the most powerful tools on the planet.
We have seen significant advances in synthetic biology over the last two decades. But the industry is hindered as companies try to scale up with traditionally engineered strains.
At Melonfrost, we are unleashing the full potential of synthetic biology by replacing genetic scalpels with a predictive evolution steering platform.
We’re creating robust, scalable organisms for therapeutics, materials, and food.
The Melonfrost platform consists of the Evolution Reactor, our proprietary hardware, and Maia, our proprietary AI powered software.

Together they form the world’s first closed loop automated evolution system.

Technology

The Evolution Reactor cultivates thousands of independent populations, measuring phenotypes and applying selection pressures in parallel.
Maia learns how organisms evolve in response to selection pressures, and guides the Evolution Reactor by applying new pressures - steering organismal evolution in real time without knowing anything about their genetics.


Our platform significantly reduces the time and number of iterations traditionally needed to optimize traits and yield commercially viable organisms.

At Melonfrost, we are using the power of evolution and machine learning to launch the next generation of microbes that will revolutionize the fields of therapeutics, biomaterials, food, and agriculture.
Our platform creates high fitness, stable organisms and fundamentally reduces the speed and cost of commercialization.
