We've developed the leading genetic engineering tool for the production of complex natural products.
DIVERSE MICROBES
We have domesticated a wide range of non-model microbes as robust, novel chassis for precision fermentation.
DARING TARGETS
We integrate and express massive biosynthetic pathways that code for modified peptides, complex small molecules, and more.
UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY
We deliver the molecules others can’t in weeks to months. Faster answers means fewer sunk costs and more breakthroughs.
We are building the world’s fastest pipeline for natural ingredient discovery and manufacturing.
We are replacing harmful chemicals with nature-based ingredients for human and planetary health.
HUMAN HEALTH
Novel bioactives for next-gen food, beverage, and wellness products.
AGRICULTURE
Nature-derived biocontrols and stimulants that improve crop health and boost production.
We are a startup inspired by cutting-edge research from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and accelerated by the Activate Fellowship.
