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 using software predictions to create cells that produce valuable chemicals. We created a yeast that eats sugar and produces acetaminophen -- the active ingredient of Tylenol. ps: Our cells are the only living cells known that produce acetaminophen.
20n is a YCombinator, DARPA, and Khosla Ventures backed, with existing Fortune 500 customers and incoming revenue. 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 build the microbes. We are looking for algorithms experts who want to see their predictions create new life!
