Yeast that make GLP-1 drugs
Evolv sells baker’s yeast engineered to express a peptide that they claim supports weight loss. Does it work? We don’t know! But the concept is feasible.
The internet’s garage lab. You can think of us like a biotech R&D team that the whole internet can hire.
HOW IT WORKS
①
Sketch your R&D project
Work with the Neophyte AI agent to design products and solve problems with biology.
②
Use $PHYTE to vote on your favorite ideas
Choose the most entertaining or most desirable biology products for our lab to work on.
③
Watch as we bring it to life
Neophyte Labs builds in public and shares our findings.
What can we build with biology?
When people think of biotechnology, they might picture medicines or GMO crops. But these days engineered biology can be used for all kinds of applications. Here’s a few examples of cool biology that already exists in the world today to get your creative juices flowing.
Probiotics that fight hangovers
ZBiotics pre-alcohol is a strain of B. subtilis engineered to convert acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol, into harmless acetic acid.
Neurons that play Doom
The Thought Emporium grew live neurons on a Petri dish and connected them to a video game. Why? Who cares? It was sweet as hell.
READ OUR VISION PAPER ↗
DeSci (Decentralized Science) is a movement to bring more people into the scientific discovery process. On the blockchain, people anywhere can pool resources behind experiments they want to try and products they want to exist.
Neophyte is building the world’s first DeSci-native R&D service provider. We’re not academics and we’re not big pharma, we’re a secret third thing that works specifically on behalf of our Web3 community.
We believe that letting regular people set our research priorities will give us an edge in inventing new kinds of biotechnology that people want.
