Basecamp Research x P&G
Basecamp Research, a company specializing in mapping genetic biodiversity for AI-based protein design, has announced a new partnership with Procter & Gamble (P&G) to advance the development of high-performance cleaning enzymes for cold water use, dissolving stains on clothes.
The collaboration focuses on leveraging insights from organisms that thrive in cold environments to create enzymes with enhanced cold wash capabilities. Enzymes, which are biological catalysts, speed up chemical reactions in living organisms and perform vital functions in even the most extreme conditions. In this case, the partnership will focus on enzymes that help dissolve stains on clothes and surfaces.
Basecamp Research works on a wide range of projects, from therapeutic applications to sustainable technologies. It has built the first biological dataset specifically designed for AI, gathered through partnerships with biodiversity-rich countries. This growing knowledge of genomic information fuels its AI platform, enabling the creation of advanced proteins tailored for specific functions, from the cold of glaciers to the heat of geysers.
