Tom was a successful academic scientist in the field of synthetic biology, where he engineered microbial metabolism to produce sustainable chemicals and proteins, and helped pioneer synthetic genomics.
Alex earned his PhD from Macquarie University where he developed novel tools that enable the use of Darwinian evolution to control microbial metabolism for sustainable production.

Agriculture causes around 30% of all climate change, and we must produce 70% more food by 2050. Decarbonising while improving agricultural productivity is one of the most pressing issues facing civilisation.

Number8Bio enhance, customize, and scale-up natures solutions to carbon emissions and nutrition using synthetic biology. Their first products reduce methane emissions and improve productivity in cattle and sheep by scaling-up and reducing the cost of active molecules normally found in seaweed.

Using a unique automated and miniaturised rumen model they developed in-house, Number8Bio screened hundreds of product variants to find a handful with the potential to completely eliminate methane emissions from earth's 2.6 billion cattle and sheep.
