Use Case

Company boilerplate

Biomemory is industrializing DNA as a new information tier: Molecular IT. Data is stored in synthetic DNA and, increasingly, searched and computed on. Spun out of Sorbonne University and CNRS, we own the full stack, from molecular biology to enterprise software, with industrial production in Paris and, following the Catalog acquisition, in Boston. We are a leader in commercial DNA data storage and co-chair of the DNA Data Storage Alliance.

We enter the market through sovereign data protection and trust preservation with DNA Shield, and expand along a dated roadmap into storage from 2029, with molecular search and compute beyond it.
