Engineering a healthier world

Reimagine enzymes to enable sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing, develop differentiated products for life science workflows, and create next-generation gene therapy and oral enzyme therapy candidates. In each market, our engineered enzymes are differentiated on critical value drivers – precision, robustness, stability and efficacy. Our advanced enzyme products provide advantages to our partners and customers to address key environmental and health challenges facing the world.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Cleaner, more sustainable processes for the health of the planet

High-performing enzymes can enable new reaction pathways, delivering higher product yields, less waste and improved capital efficiency. Our engineered enzymes have been used in many efficient manufacturing processes for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Highly customized biocatalysts can transform API manufacturing processes by eliminating steps, increasing yield, and reducing solvent usage and waste.

Life Sciences

Reimagine enzymes for a new generation of life science tools

Life science tools have long taken advantage of the unique characteristics of enzymes. No longer limited by the properties of natural enzymes, engineered enzymes are raising the bar on the performance and adaptability of workflows in genomics, diagnostics, mRNA manufacturing and oligonucleotide synthesis.

Genomics & Diagnostics

New genomic and diagnostic workflows are increasingly demanding of the properties of the enzymes used in them - often requiring high sensitivity alongside robustness to deliver high-quality data under increasingly diverse and challenging conditions. We engineer our life science enzymes for these properties, and more, to deliver versatile and robust enzymes, up to the demands of modern genomic and diagnostic applications.

Oligonucleotide synthesis

The synthesis of oligonucleotides is increasingly important across a broad range of industries – from biopharma to genomics, synthetic biology, agriculture and even data storage. We are developing enzymes that can meet the specific needs of different industries and applications – from efficient and clean mRNA production for vaccines and other biotherapeutics, to both template-directed and non-template-directed synthesis of DNA and unnatural oligonucleotides with applicability in multiple fields.
