Ensuring biosecurity in the AI era

We help AI labs and organisations ensure that their LLMs can be used safely in the context of biological knowledge, specifically for microbial pathogens. With expertise broadly across microbiology, as well as specifically in high-consequence pathogens, we provide support in evaluating LLMs and AI models for pathogen-related risks, ensuring continued beneficial use but critically safeguarding against misuse and adversarial threats.

Ensure your LLM is robust against biological misuse.

Our approach

Driven by the latest research across microbiology and AI, we utilise our expertise of microbiology into dataset generation that is scalable, robust, and meticulous.



This ensures LLMs are assesed to the highest standard prospectively, replicating real-world scenarios of misuse and adversarial use, ensure mitigations can be implemented and ensuring the beneficial use of AI models.

Expert knowledge

Driven by our deep domain expertise across microbiology and pathogen science, as well as AI to ensure robust evaluation of biological risks.

Misuse simulation

Using real-world misuse pathways to assess where AI systems may inadvertently aid in harmful biological applications.

Biological insight

Distinguishing between legitimate research uses and potential misuse, ensuring nuanced, context-aware evaluations of biological content.
