Astromech is a Delaware-incorporated startup with offices in Austin, Texas, spun out of de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences in 2025 by entrepreneur Ben Lamm and Harvard geneticist George Church. It is building what it calls a Large Life Model, a predictive system for biology trained on multi-species functional genomic data accumulated at Colossal. The platform combines transcriptomic data, cross-species comparison and ancestral state reconstruction to answer three questions: where a living system is heading, where it is most likely to break, and which regulatory mechanisms drive the change. Two model engines work in parallel, one applying deep learning to find patterns across species, the other reverse-engineering regulatory logic along evolutionary history. By focusing on ancestral regulatory states rather than protein sequence alone, the company argues it can model complex traits such as morphology and lifespan. Its first model targets aging and longevity, mapping 46 longevity-associated genes across species including the Asian elephant and the bowhead whale. The company is still in build-out mode, with 28 roles listed publicly.
