The ability to restore a plant’s immunity to pests and diseases, and improve quality, taste and flavor in many crops also has the potential to revolutionize the AgriFood Tech sector. Key benefits of the platform include more access to natural food products for customers and less chemicals required in growing food.

“This investment reflects our expanding interest in the application of biotech in agriculture,” said Michael Krel, Partner at Sofinnova Partners, and a key member of the Sofinnova Industrial Biotech Funds. “Meiogenix has the potential to revolutionize the way we enhance the natural properties of plants so that they are more resistant to viruses, better tasting, and produce higher yield. We are confident in this team’s ability to bring its groundbreaking science to significantly improve the safety and sustainability of our global food systems.”

The Meiogenix platform addresses the $50 billion commercial seed market and breeding capabilities of large and essential crops like corn, wheat, rice, soybeans and tomatoes.

“Our investment in Meiogenix is based on their unique approach to solving critical bottlenecks in food production for the commercial seed industry, a rapidly growing market expected to surpass $60 billion by 2025,” said Jenny Rooke, Ph.D., Founder and Managing Director of Genoa Ventures. “The agriculture industry is ripe for translating great innovations in life sciences to agricultural applications, and leaders in the space are investing heavily in the latest gene editing technologies to accelerate improved product development. Meiogenix’s relationships with innovative industry leaders like Bayer further demonstrate the enormous potential for the Meiogenix platform to usher in the next stage of progress for the agricultural industry.”

About Meiogenix
Meiogenix is a pioneer in chromosome editing, developing broadly applicable gene and chromosome editing capabilities that restore essential biodiversity to agriculture, enabling unity between natural ecosystems and our food production. Meiogenix has collaborations with Cornell and Bayer to help develop crops that improve our food supply while caring for our environment.
