Improving cannabis plants through science and innovation.

What we do

In Cálice Biotech we are creating a technology platform that combines data science, bioinformatics, and gene editing tools to produce cannabis plants that are more productive, resistant and friendly with the environment.

How we do it

We create the best plants, from the beginning

DISCOVERY

First, using computational tools we study which genes are responsible for a desirable trait in order to develop the most promising plants.

CREATION

Then, we edit the genes of interest using proprietary CRISPR-Cas9 tools creating perfect plants that will grow in controlled environments reaching their highest genetic potential.

VALIDATION

Finally, we validate the new gene-edited plants with improved traits in field conditions. The data obtained is used to feed and reinforce our technology platform.
