Decoding the hidden interactions that drive human biology

We reveal the final frontier of human biology by making microbial ecosystems computable, unlocking a new era of personalized and predictive medicine.

Biology's Hidden Majority

We coexist with trillions of microbes that shape our health in profound ways. But medicine has largely ignored this complex world.

We don't.

We are decoding the complex microbial interactions that drive human biology, revealing their true impact on our health.

An Engine for Discovery.

An Ethos of Openness.

Our breakthroughs in AI are only possible because of breakthroughs in biology. We are building a closed-loop engine that pairs novel wet lab science with powerful machine learning.

This engine creates foundational models and datasets to both advance open science and enable a new generation of predictive medicine.

Work on a problem that matters.

Our mission is ambitious, and our standards are high. Our culture is built on intellectual honesty, deep ownership, reliably doing what we say we will do. If you are a builder who thrives on candid feedback and are ready to do the best work of your career, we would love to meet you.

Working at Outpost

An open invitation to researchers.

We’re building AI to predict how interventions impact the human microbiome and will be contributing foundational datasets and models back to the scientific community. We’re seeking collaborators with rich pre/post-intervention datasets of the microbiome. We'll offer partners rich insights to existing datasets.
