Bindbridge is a generative AI platform for the discovery and design of molecular glues for agriculture. I was previously Investment Manager at Yara Growth Ventures, investing in upstream agritech and green hydrogen. Prior to this, I was responsible for delivering projects as part of the NIAB Ventures team. This included designing an agritech accelerator around NIAB's agritech incubator Barn4, as well as delivering large scale projects in agri-robotics and biomass energy crops. My PhD explored the impact of cover cropping and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity in UK agriculture. I ran collaborative projects with the Alan Turing Institute and Food and Environment Research Agency, where I used novel statistical methods to identify indicators of soil health, and candidates for field scale microbial inoculation.
