An industry that could help farmers tackle the challenges presented by the environment such as disease, weeds and pests in a more sustainable way with less chemicals, fuel and manpower. We are accomplishing this using RTDS: our proprietary family of non-transgenic, gene-editing technologies and our expertise in genomics, genomics data and cell culture.
We are leaders in a new class of breeding techniques called: NBTs or New Breeding Technologies based on precision gene editing. Trait products are crop specific precisely edited genetic sequences associated with a specific characteristic in a specific crop. Our product focus is traits that enable farmers to have higher yields and reduce the use of the Crop Protection chemicals and fertilizers.

As a key part of Cibus' founding team, Peter took a lead role in developing the core technologies associated with the Rapid Trait Development System (RTD). Possessing a passion for moving technology to commercial application, Peter has over 30 years of experience in agriculture. Prior to joining Cibus, Peter was Research Director of the Plant and Industrial Products Division at ValiGen.
Cibus is a leading agricultural biotechnology company that is using (non-GMO) precision gene editing technology to reshape crop protection. A more efficient and targeted breeding industry regarding specific characteristics like disease resistance based on (non-GMO) precision gene editing technologies that is globally regulated on the same basis as conventional breeding.
Our Values are Commitment, Innovation, Authenticity, Collaboration, Responsibility, and Courage. These components are important threads which weave through our culture and encourage involvement and empowerment, while providing everyone with the ability to positively influence the work environment. The Cibus team is leading the innovation of new precision gene editing technologies.
Since the EU passed the EU Directive 2001/18/EC, there has been a moratorium on the cultivation of GMO (transgenic) crops in the EU and severe restrictions enacted in many other countries. Cibus was founded in this landmark year with the belief that traits that did not use recombinant DNA or transgenes would be regulated on the same basis as traditional breeding.
Agriculture is undergoing an incredible technology revolution. We believe it's important to start the dialogue on how these never-before-seen advancements are impacting the world, in everything from climate change to how we grow our food. Here, we'll feature a few thoughts, musings and stories from our team-a group of people committed to making agriculture a more sustainable, environmentally friendly practice.
