Basecamp Research is a London-based life-sciences AI company that builds large biological “foundation models” by combining machine learning with a proprietary, biodiversity-derived genomics dataset. The company’s platform is trained on large-scale metagenomics and evolutionary signals to help discover and design proteins/enzymes and enable new therapeutic approaches - especially in genetic medicines and gene editing.

A core part of Basecamp Research’s approach is its in-house data engine (often described publicly as BaseData™) and its EDEN family of evolutionary AI models, aimed at moving “beyond known biology” by learning from genetic diversity found across nature. The company has recently highlighted work on AI-designed systems for programmable gene insertion and other therapeutic modalities, developed in collaboration with major compute/AI partners.
