Better coffee and bananas: Durham agtech startup Pairwise could hold the genetic key

The company – which uses its CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing know-how to develop new varieties of fruits and vegetables – has agreed to grant access to its base editing technology to U.K.-headquartered Tropic Biosciences.

Tropic, as its name implies, focuses on improving big-acre tropical crops. It will use the technology to speed up plant breeding innovation in globally important coffee and banana harvests.

Pairwise – which says it is driven by the belief that healthy food should be consistently fresh, delicious and convenient – moved to North Carolina in 2018 with support from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

Pairwise has raised $115 million in private funds. And it has a five-year, $100 million collaboration with the crop science division of pharmaceutical and life science giant Bayer to apply its gene editing technology to row crops – corn, soybeans, wheat, canola and cotton.

The company has about [13]0 employees
