know your biocatalyst, know your process,

enhance your production.

what we offer

Biology is the core technology of industrial biomanufacturing, but site operators do not have access to timely biological data.

We provide biological monitoring in near-real-time, an enriched data interface customized to your reactor ecosystem, actionable insights, and mitigation strategies.

With Symbi, you can monitor:

  • strain stability

  • bacteriophage outbreaks

  • contamination

  • changing metabolic profiles

  • differential gene expression

  • variant tracking and much more…

We’ll help improve your QC and bottom line.

where advanced bioprocess engineering and microbial expertise meet

Symbi was created by fusing the brains of Dave Morris and Luke McKay. Dave is an expert bioprocess engineer with over 15 years experience across fermentation types, sensor development, piloting and commissioning. Luke is a PhD microbial ecologist with deep understanding of our vast microbial world and the computational tools to decipher it.

Dave and Luke asked the simple question, “What if an operator had a real-time window into the biology of a reactor?” We are enabling the biomanufacturing industry with timely understanding of biocatalyst dynamics, providing actionable information for critical operational decisions.
