Redefining What's Possible

With decades of scientific firsts behind us and bold, scalable platforms, Codexis is redefining what’s possible in therapeutic pharmaceutical manufacturing. From siRNA maufacturing to pharma biocatalysis to molecular biology and diagnostic applications, we transform your challenges into real-world impact — with speed, scale, sustainability, and proven results built in.

We don’t just support the future — we’re building it.

What Sets Us Apart

Turning Vision into Viability

We are built for what’s next, unlocking new therapeutic possibilities across RNA, biocatalysis, and diagnostic applications.

Compounding Excellence in Performance

Our solutions outperform legacy methods, enabling faster timelines, greener chemistry, and higher quality products.

The Path We’ve Built

We were first, and we’ve gone furthest. Our enzymes power more approved drugs on the market than any other platform like it.

Your Long-Term Partner for Progress

We don’t just support your journey, we build it with you

Making Complex Science Scalable

From development to commercial readiness, our facilities are built for flexibility and future GMP scale.

The Scientific Legacy Behind the Solution

We’ve spent over 20 years refining the science of enzyme engineering and redefining the boundaries of its therapeutic potential.

2025

ECO Innovation Lab Launched

2023–2025

RNA and Diagnostic Expansion

2022

RNA Therapeutics Program Launched

 Seriously Sustainable by Design

We help customers meet ESG goals through smarter processes, with sustainability built in, not bolted on.

Our enzymes replace harsh reagents, reduce solvent volumes and improve yield efficiency. That means you benefit from greener chemistry that delivers value, not just virtue.

The Leadership Behind Our Innovation and Longevity

Our leadership comes not just from innovation, but from longevity, proof, and sustained delivery. When others were experimenting, we were building the benchmark.
