Strain engineering

Rational design and optimization of microbial metabolic pathways to produce high-value chemicals, advanced materials, and alternative proteins at industrial scale.

Genetically engineered microbes as cell factories for proteins, enzymes, HMOs and flavors — a stack from strain design to purified ingredient, at 30–50 g/L target titers.

Recombinant whey, casein and egg-white proteins produced by engineered yeast and filamentous fungi, cutting GHG emissions 90–97% and water use 95–99% versus animal farming.

High-performance protein fibers spun from microbially fermented spidroins — matching the tensile strength of steel and the toughness of Kevlar at a fraction of the weight, without farming spiders.
