About Us

Learn about our mission, vision, and the innovations driving us towards a sustainable digital future.
At PEARCODE, we are pioneers in the evolution of digital data storage towards a sustainable future. The current trajectory of data production and storage is unsustainable in the context of a « net zero » society by 2050. Recognizing this challenge, PEARCODE is committed to revolutionizing the world of storage with innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solutions.
Our Breakthrough Technology

Revolutionizing Data Storage with Synthetic DNA

Our dedication to excellence extends beyond technological innovation to encompass environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. We pledge to consistently explore and implement eco-conscious technologies for the secure and long-term archiving of digital data, minimizing our carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Our Product

Introducing the PEARCODE DNA Memory Solution

At PEARCODE, we are developing a revolutionary DNA memory system for long-term digital data archiving. Our goal is to transform how cold data is stored. Unlike traditional storage systems, which are constrained by capacity, energy consumption, and longevity, DNA memory offers an ultra-dense, sustainable, and secure alternative.

Our Mission

Innovative, Bio-Inspired Solutions for a Greener Future

PEARCODE’s mission is to create innovative, bio-inspired computing solutions for digital data archiving, contributing to the decarbonation of the digital industry.

Our Vision

Leading the Way to Sustainable Digital Archiving

PEARCODE envisions a future where digital data archiving is synonymous with sustainability and efficiency. Our mission is to pave the way for a greener digital industry by harnessing the power of bio-inspired computing solutions.

ANTONINI Marc

Co-founder & CSO

Marc is a research director at CNRS. He leads the MediaCoding research team at the I3S laboratory (15 people). He has held numerous leadership positions in the signal theory community. He is at the origin of the European project "OligoArchive" on the issue of storing information on DNA. From October 2021, he is the program director of the PEPR Exploratory “MoleculArXiv” on massive data storage on DNA and artificial polymers. Marc Antonini has been the chair of the international JPEG DNA working group since 2020. He is the author of more than 300 articles, 7 book chapters and 13 patents (9365 citations, source Google Scholar January 2023). He is also co-founder and scientific advisor of Cintoo, a spin-off from the University of Côte d'Azur and the CNRS. He is a member of the IEEE and AFNOR. In 2023 he received a medal of Innovation from CNRS.
