About Resurrect Bio
Resurrect Bio is a UK agricultural biotechnology company spun out of The Sainsbury Laboratory in 2021 by Professor Sophien Kamoun, Professor Tolga Bozkurt and CEO Dr Cian Duggan. Its platform uses FloraFold AI to map how pathogen proteins disable plant immune receptors, then applies precise gene editing to restore native R-genes without foreign DNA—speeding disease-resistance traits for soy, corn and wheat versus conventional breeding. The B2B model licenses traits to seed companies via fees, milestones and royalties; in March 2026 it announced a joint development agreement with Corteva for U.S. corn diseases. After a 2023 £1.61 million ($2.1 million) seed, Resurrect Bio announced an initial Series A close of $8.1 million in February 2026 led by Corteva Catalyst with Calculus Capital, Pymwymic and AgFunder, to scale trait discovery and advance commercial partnerships.
