Brandon Fields Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer, Fieldstone Bio
Fieldstone Bio is an MIT-connected startup spun out in 2023 from the Voigt lab in MIT’s bioengineering department. Fieldstone uses microscopic biosensors to measure elements at a mining scale. Fieldstone’s biosensors act as tiny, engineered sensors capable of being spread across cores, ore, or tailings to provide direct measurements of gold, copper, and other metals. Fieldstone can measure and process the signals from the biosensors using advanced imagery and AI to produce high-resolution heatmaps of the target element – providing mining companies with unprecedented data to augment existing modeling and increase the speed and accuracy of decisions.
