“We are looking for R&D collaborators to help us identify the next generation of biocontrol agents for soil insect pests, to help farmers in their battle to protect their crops and deliver sustainable agriculture."
Benedikt Kurtz, Scientific Expert Seedcare Insecticides & Nematicides, Syngenta
“No human could handle and decode these signals, see the difference, and translate it”
Dr Anke Buchholz, Syngenta Fellow
“Plant biologists are extremely interested in how this works when we present our data at conferences. Most people have never once considered applying this technology in this way”
Rachel Egger, Principal Scientist, Syngenta
“A lot of what we do is theoretical or principles based. To be involved in something that could be commercialized, impacting agriculture so positively, was really exciting for us”
Allen Garner, Purdue University School of Nuclear Engineering
“...we pre-trained the AgroNT on approximately 10.5 million genomic sequences comprising trillions of base pairs. The data set of 48 species included genomes of row crops, fruits, legumes, vegetables and species important for industry and research, so that it could learn the language of plant DNA.”
Gurnek Singh, Head of Business Development for Applications and Life Sciences, Bio AI at InstaDeep
“When we met InstaDeep, they had a mature AI Platform and were truly focused on agriculture. I was impressed that they knew the value of their algorithms, our data and the partnership. That made it easy to put together a collaboration with them.”
Joe Clarke, Syngenta Fellow in Genomics
