About Us

Palladias develops novel biomimetic metal-chelating resins for a variety of applications including the extraction and purification of materials from waste streams and the extraction of metals critical to national defense and energy independence.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 awards

What Makes Us Different

The power of our technology lies in our unique and proprietary high-throughput ability to screen for sorbent material from a wide variety of sources.

Our competitive advantage is achieved by identifying resins with the necessary selectivity and kinetics using the metal source stream as the training set.

Meet the Team

  • Ben Warner, President (PhD, Chemistry, MIT)

    Dr. Warner, has 30+ years of experience in developing and commercializing molecular recognition materials.

    He has successfully commercialized multiple technologies in advanced materials & pharmaceuticals, assay technologies, and lab automation. He has multiple successful exits.

  • Prisca Tiasse, Senior Scientist (PhD, Microbiology, University of Illinois)

    Dr. Tiasse is a microbiologist with significant experience in synthetic biology, designing and engineering biological systems for improved functionality, from genetic engineering to assay development. She has extensive expertise in screening microorganisms for novel antimicrobial resistance factors; and metabolic engineering of algae for biofuel production, as part of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s involvement in the Department of Energy's National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts consortium (NAABB).

    Dr. Tiasse successfully led community-based biomonitoring efforts to detect viral pathogens in wastewater. She is part of the MetaSUB international consortium and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standards for Wastewater Surveillance (SWWS) group, working on a guidance document to support wastewater surveillance for biological targets.

    Dr. Tiasse leverages her business development experience by serving on the board of the New Mexico Bioscience Authority. She also serves as a member of the New Mexico District Export Council and the Los Alamos County Economic Vitality Action Team, as the founder of Los Alamos Makers.

    Dr. Tiasse was honored with the 2018 Women In Technology award by the New Mexico Technology Council.
