nPhyla Receives BC Ignite Funding
nPhyla, in partnership with Dr. Steven Hallam at the University of British Columbia, is proud to be one of five recipients of Innovate BC’s 2024 Ignite program. This $300,000 award will accelerate the development of our genomics intelligence platform, designed to support sustainable mining practices across British Columbia and beyond.
Our platform integrates environmental DNA (eDNA) and microbiome analytics into a system that delivers practical insights for biodiversity monitoring, microbial process optimization, and regulatory compliance. By translating complex biological signals into actionable data, we aim to make environmental genomics a core part of how industry understands and manages natural systems.
