About Generare

At Generare, we're reopening one of humanity's most powerful sources of innovation: the natural evolved chemistry of microbes. We've built a discovery engine that blends synthetic biology, computational biology, and automation to explore the vast 97% of microbial natural products that remain undiscovered, and to turn that hidden diversity into a rapidly growing library of truly novel bioactive molecules. The platform is already running at industrial scale, revealing new scaffolds and modes of action faster than any other approach, and unlocking fresh routes to tackle antimicrobial resistance, cancer, parasitic diseases, and major agricultural needs.

Generare was created in 2023 from the landmark work of Dr. Vincent Libis and is scaling fast. We're 20 brilliant people in the heart of Paris today, growing rapidly next year, and building the team that will bring nature's molecular library to the next wave of medicines and sustainable crop protection.
