EpiCrop Technologies

EpiCrop Technologies is a private agricultural biotechnology company developing non-GMO, epigenetic crop improvement technologies to enhance yield, vigor, and resilience in plants. Founded in 2014, the company applies patent-protected epigenetic breeding methods together with genome-scale methylation analysis and predictive analytics to accelerate seed and trait development. Its business appears focused on licensing or deploying crop-performance technologies rather than developing human therapeutics. The company has described itself as using nature-based epigenetic approaches for crop improvement and has expanded research infrastructure in the St. Louis area. Although it touches biotechnology and life science broadly, it is not a healthcare, pharma, or therapeutics company.
