What is Biomemory?

How about reducing the world's energy needs by revolutionizing computing through biology? Biomemory is a spin-off of CNRS and Sorbonne University. Our ambition is to create a data storage solution on synthetic DNA in order to meet the biggest technological challenge of the next 10 years: storing ever-increasing volumes of data while reducing the ecological impact on the planet by several orders of magnitude (greenhouse gasses, electricity consumption, water consumption).

We are a world leader in DNA Data Storage. Our founders are among the world's most prominent researchers in the field. Our technology is the first ever to be based entirely on biology to store data.
