We focus largely on biomanufacturing, analytics and environmental biotechnology. Our expertise is across multiple host cell systems from mammalian to algae and bacteria, making high-value products to low-value commodities.
We incorporate metabolic and protein engineering to answer industry-facing problems, and more recently have developed synthetic biology tools and novel downstream processing technologies.
