What We Do
An AI-powered discovery engine that identifies pathogen-specific vulnerabilities, enabling rapid design of diagnostics and CRISPR-based therapeutics. It underpins Seek Labs’ innovation platforms and the Global Disease Atlas, and has recently mapped high-burden mosquito-borne and veterinary diseases.
A programmable CRISPR-based therapeutic platform designed to target and ablate pathogen genomes, enabling fast, precise, and scalable interventions for diseases such as RSV, measles, African Swine Fever, Chikungunya, West Nile Virus, and Zika.
A portable, instrument-free molecular diagnostic device that delivers rapid, lab-grade results at the point of care, validated for pathogens like White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) in shrimp and showcased for aquaculture disease detection.
A field diagnostic kit for rapid detection of White Spot Syndrome Virus in shrimp, validated in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University and ShrimpVet, providing accurate results at 24 hours post-infection without lab infrastructure.
A real-time, AI-powered genomic map of the world’s most dangerous pathogens, guiding the development of pan-pathogen, programmable therapeutics and diagnostics. Now expanded to include veterinary diseases such as ASFV, Capripox, and CSFV.
CRISPR-based systems targeting African Swine Fever Virus, shown to prolong survival and reduce viral load in infected pigs during in vivo trials.
