Who & What are We?
Ryniant Sciences is a nonprofit biotech startup redefining how the world tackles disease, contamination, and emerging threats. We're building AI-powered systems that combine machine learning, multi-omics, and real-world data to accelerate breakthroughs in rare, neglected, and complex diseases.
Our work doesn’t stop at therapeutics—we’re pushing public health forward with tools that predict environmental contamination and protect communities before crisis hits. With new ventures into fuel optimization and biodefense, we're expanding the very definition of AI-driven innovation.
Backed by industry experts and global collaborators, we also lead ISSA (International Science Students Association) to ensure equitable access to scientific tools and opportunities worldwide.
This is biotech without the bureaucracy—fast-moving, mission-driven, and built to disrupt.
