Our Story & Vision
Discover what drives us
From a high school science club to building the future of graph databases for critical industries.
Our Founders
Turing Biosystems was co-founded by Rémy, from the world of computation, and Adam, from the world of biology. Our story goes back to when we met in our high school science club at 15 years old, building stratospheric balloons and growing Euglenas.
From Turing Biosystems to TuringDB
We founded our company, Turing Biosystems, to integrate multimodal data and make digital twins of biological systems. We ended up building a graph database engine to simulate complex biology, capable of running reasoning tasks, deep graph traversals and multi-hops on large graphs.
With auditability and explainability always a priority for critical industries like healthcare, we realised that what we built could transform how organisations handle complex connected data across all sectors.
Our Vision
Our vision is to unite the worlds of computation and biology. Alan Turing's last works, on computation in biological systems, showed that this was not just possible but innate, as in the patterns found in sunflower seeds which inspired our logo.

Good Software
Our team are passionate and dedicated to the development of good software, new algorithms, and critical science. We combine the best of our two worlds of computation and biology to serve you.
Building the Engine
We built TuringDB from the ground up with a focus on in-memory performance, achieving sub-millisecond latencies on complex multi-hop queries. Our innovations include:
- ✓Git-like versioning for reproducible analytics and time-travel queries
- ✓Zero-lock concurrency, ensuring reads never block writes
- ✓Rich metadata support for AI and digital twin applications
- ✓Deep graph traversals for simulating complex biological systems
- ✓Auditability and explainability for critical healthcare applications
Our Mission
To empower organisations with the fastest, most reliable graph database technology, enabling breakthrough discoveries in drug development, healthcare, finance, and beyond. Our team is founded on the ideal of software as a creative art, where cutting-edge tools are developed for everyone's benefit.
