About
Deep Root BioLabs is a Baltimore-area biotechnology company founded in 2025 by Johns Hopkins scientists John Sittmann, PhD, and Tom Curtis, PhD. The company has developed a synthetic biology platform using engineered endophytes — microbes that live in plant roots — to deliver biomolecules that transform plants into living tools for pollutant removal and critical mineral recovery. This approach is rapid, low-cost, and works across plant species without genetic modification, addressing the urgent need for sustainable environmental cleanup. Deep Root BioLabs holds a patent-pending platform and participated in IndieBio NY 2025.
