CRISPR-based de-extinction and species restoration biotech
Colossal applies CRISPR and genome engineering to extinct and endangered species restoration. The tech stack is weighted toward wet-lab collaboration (Benchling, SnapGene, qPCR) and facility operations (Hyper-V, Proxmox, VLAN, iSCSI), with minimal cloud or data infrastructure — revealing a hardware-forward, lab-centric organization. Active hiring skews research-heavy (3 roles) alongside construction and veterinary program roles, matching their current focus on facility buildout and scaling animal programs.
Colossal is a Dallas-based bioscience company developing genetic engineering technologies for species de-extinction and ecosystem restoration. The company combines CRISPR genome editing with species-specific protocols — currently working on avian de-extinction experiments, base editing workflows, and multiplex genome engineering in mammalian cells. Operationally, they are in heavy facility construction and commissioning phases while scaling clinical and veterinary programs, evidenced by active projects around anesthesia protocols, clinical SOPs, and specialized life sciences facility builds. The organization spans research, construction, healthcare, and operations with 51–200 employees.
Avian de-extinction genetic engineering, base editing workflows, multiplex genome engineering in mammalian cells, and species restoration. Current operational focus includes clinical SOP development, anesthesia protocol design, and specialized life sciences facility construction and commissioning.
Benchling and SnapGene for molecular design; qPCR for lab analysis; Proxmox, Hyper-V, and Ubuntu/Debian for compute infrastructure; Okta and Active Directory for identity; Slack and Zoom for collaboration; Zscaler for security.
