Catalysts For a Healthier Planet

Unprecedented vision, bold action and better solutions for a positive future.

At Epoch, we’re harnessing nature’s machines to solve our biggest climate challenges. We supercharge billions of years of evolution with modern biotechnology to develop enzymes that unlock applications previously deemed impossible. We have built a unique environment where AI scientists, chemists, engineers and enzyme biologists work side-by-side. This full-stack integration of expertise enables our team to build breakthrough approaches to designing and scaling biology like never before.

Our passion is real

We come to work every day, knowing that we will have a significant positive impact on our planet. Our motivation comes from our mission and our people: clever, spirited, opinionated, authentic personalities that we learn from and have fun with!
