Meiogenix Relocates to RTP, Supercharging Precision Breeding for Agriculture
RESEARCHTRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – November 5, 2025 — Meiogenix, a biotechnology company harnessing epigenetics and AI-powered precision breeding, today announced it has relocated its U.S. headquarters to North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park (RTP) — one of the world’s most dynamic clusters for agricultural and life sciences innovation.
The strategic move places Meiogenix at the heart of RTP’s renowned ecosystem, home to leading research universities, R&D centers, major seed and crop science companies, and a deep talent pipeline in plant genetics and biotechnology. By tapping into RTP’s collaborative network, Meiogenix is positioned to accelerate partnerships with global agribusinesses and cutting-edge research programs developing next-generation crops.
“Plant breeders are the true pioneers in agriculture, and being here in Research Triangle Park feels like opening a door to limitless innovation,” said Ricardo Garcia de Alba, CEO of Meiogenix. “We’re energized by the chance to collaborate with this exceptional community, bringing fresh ideas and transformational technologies to breeders who are shaping the future of food. Together, we can unlock new levels of genetic diversity and deliver solutions that will make a real difference for growers around the world.”
Meiogenix's new US headquarters at Alexandria Center® for AgTech in RTP will serve as a hub for R&D and commercial partnerships and growth.
This relocation reinforces Meiogenix’s mission to advance crop improvement through proprietary breeding technologies based on precision recombination and advanced genomics, helping breeders unlock previously inaccessible genetic diversity and create resilient, high-yield crops. Plant breeders can now leverage Meiogenix’s technologies to address critical challenges — including productivity, climate adaptation, and food security — across major row and specialty crops including rice, tomato, and corn, as well as wheat and oilseeds.
“We’re proud of the foundation we built in Ithaca and at Cornell, and we look forward to building new relationships in North Carolina that will help us scale our impact in agriculture,” Garcia de Alba added.
