Griffin O’Driscoll

Strategy & partnerships

Why Organicin

I believe we should scale the right tool, even when it is harder, rather than rely on the wrong tool because it is easier. At Organicin, that means doing the work to make precise biological tools practical, reliable, and accessible. Building the processes and partnerships to get there is the challenge I want to take on.

Dr. Margaret Riley

Microbiology & evolution

Why Organicin

I see bacteriocins as a window into how bacteria compete, coexist, and evolve. At Organicin, we can study those molecules to uncover bacterial interactions and ecological relationships that have remained hidden. What excites me is the chance to discover new biology while using that understanding to develop more precise antimicrobials.

Peg Riley, Ph.D., is a microbiologist and evolutionary biologist whose work has shaped the modern understanding of bacteriocins and microbial competition. Before co-founding Organicin Scientific, she served as a Professor of Biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where her research focused on antimicrobial peptides, microbial ecology, and pathogen evolution. Earlier in her career, she held faculty positions and research fellowships across leading institutions. Peg earned her Ph.D. from Harvard University and is internationally recognized for pioneering work on targeted antimicrobial approaches that preserve microbiome health.

Mathew Mitchell

Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer

Mathew Mitchell

Computation & discovery

Why Organicin

I see the microbiome as part of the human body: a distributed organ, as integral to our health as the immune system. For millennia, we have treated disease without understanding this part of ourselves. I started Organicin to use advanced technologies to understand it, care for it, and bring it into the practice of medicine.
