Scientific exploration
…from the depths of the ocean to the reaches of space.
We advance human and environmental health by identifying nature-based, microbial solutions to challenges from climate change to human nutrition.
The Two Frontiers Project (2FP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, expeditionary research organization dedicated to studying the science of survival: how life finds a way in the most extreme environments in and between humanity’s greatest frontiers: the oceans and space.
Our Core Initiatives
A one-of-kind sequencing and precision culturing platform
Powered by the 2PF Living Database: thousands of sequenced and cyropreserved samples, open to the scientific community
Low-cost, field-deployable science on-demand
Research can’t always be done in the comfort of a lab. At the 2FP, our core technology is how we work in extremely resource-limited environments. We use the most cutting-edge tech — from DNA sequencing to long-range communication — in the most remote settings to characterize and grow microbes on-site. Explore how our tech stack brings field research into the 21st century.
