Curious and Feisty
Weka Biosciences takes its name from the Weka, a native New Zealand bird known for its bold curiosity and tenacious spirit. Much like its namesake, Weka is unafraid to explore new territory—whether in the wild or at the frontiers of biotechnology. Founded by Dr. Nigel Otto, a New Zealand native, Weka Biosciences brings that same inquisitive energy and fearless determination to its work in microbial glycosaminoglycan innovation. As a small startup based in Santa Fe, NM, we embrace the Weka’s traits to challenge convention, push boundaries, and uncover new possibilities in science.
