“What I love about working at Codexis is our ability to help exponentially more patients than at a typical biotech company. Our engineered enzymes are a part of numerous marketed products, and we’re executing cutting-edge science for a host of disease states. I am excited to see how the potential of our platform technology unfolds over the next few years to support even more partners and patients.”
Lauren Rose Musto, Vice President of Corporate Communications
