20n | San Francisco | Full Time, ONSITE | <a href=" | Machine learning, data mining, NLP, and computational biology
Biology is severely under-utilized. 20n (YC W15) fixes that by letting software predictions direct genetic engineering. Our system modified a baker's yeast, and it now "brews" acetaminophen -- the active ingredient of Tylenol. ps: This is the only living cell on the planet that produces acetaminophen.
20n is YCombinator, DARPA, and Khosla Ventures backed, with existing Fortune 500 customers and is already profitable. Our core technology is a data mining and machine learning platform for biological data. We routinely distribute using Spark, write approximation algorithms for NP-complete problems, and push the software predictions to robots that modify the cells. We are looking for algorithms experts who want to see their predictions create new life!
