Podcast: Computable Microbes
Outpost Bio Co-Founder and CEO Jenny Yang sat down with Grant Belgard and Grace Ratley at The Bioinformatics CRO Podcast to talk about the gap between what microbiome research publishes and what R&D teams can actually use.
The conversation covers:
Why most microbiome papers find correlations but miss causal mechanisms
How Outpost's Lab-in-the-Loop architecture turns wet lab experiments into a training signal for frontier AI models
What R&D teams need before advancing compounds when microbiome-mediated metabolism is in play
The thesis behind Outpost's $3.5M pre-seed and the Boston and London team

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.
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.
