OUR
TECHNOLOGY
We invented the leading genetic tool for production of complex natural products
Diverse Microbes
We have domesticated a wide range of non-model microbes as precision fermentation chassis organisms.
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.
OUR
TEAM
We are a startup inspired by cutting-edge research from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and accelerated by the Activate Fellowship.
