Colossal Biosciences
Prof. Fritz Vollrath studied Biology in Göttingen and Freiburg, Germany, and held professorial positions in Basel CH, Aarhus DK and Oxford GB. Fritz’s academic research embraces two rather distinct areas of Zoology: spider webs & silks and elephant behavior, ecology & evolution. His silk interests range from fundamental research into the mechanical and molecular properties of this important natural material to the fabrication and commercialization of silk-based high-tech products. Fritz’s elephant research combines fieldwork on their behavioural ecology with applications to their conservation as well as more speculative research into the molecular basis of the elephant’s anti-cancer defences.

At Colossal Biosciences, we endeavor to jumpstart nature’s ancestral heartbeat. To see the woolly mammoth thunder upon the tundra once again. To advance the economics of biology and nutrition. To make humanity more human. And to reawaken the lost wilds of Earth. So we, and our planet can breathe easier. These things, which were not achievable before, are now. In our laboratories. Through our breakthroughs in CRISPR and genetic engineering. We are leading the new charge of bioscience. We accept the responsibility. And we can see the light at the end of it all.
