Basecamp Research is a biotechnology company headquartered in London, with offices and laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It trains computational models for therapeutic design using proprietary biological data. Its EDEN models draw on the Trillion Gene Atlas, a dataset assembled through international access and benefit-sharing partnerships.

The company combines those models with technology for writing DNA sequences into cells. One application is in vivo cell therapy, which aims to alter cells within a patient's body. Its design work also covers enzymes and peptides. It works with pharmaceutical partners to take candidates into development. Designing a candidate is an early step towards a medicine; the company's described pipeline is advancing from preclinical work towards clinical development.
