technology
Synthetic biology
Engineering of biological systems with standardised genetic parts for new functions — gene circuits, bioproduction and cell-free platforms.
Where it's used
Biodyes & microbial pigments
Bio-based dyes and pigments produced via microbial fermentation and synthetic biology.
Biosynthetic cannabinoids (CBD & THC)
Producing CBD, THC and rare cannabinoids (CBG, CBDV, THCV) as platform molecules via engineered yeast fermentation and chemo-enzymatic synthesis, bypassing plant cultivation.
Cell-free systems & cell-free bioproduction
Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) bypasses the living cell: ribosomes and translation factors in a reaction tube deliver the target protein in hours, not weeks, with toxic and non-canonical amino acids incorporated.
DNA nanotechnology & DNA origami
Folding single-stranded DNA into precision-programmed 3D nanostructures — drug-delivery nanorobots, vaccine scaffolds and metrology nanorulers.
Synthetic Microbial Consortia for Soil
Engineered multi-species microbial communities designed for precision agriculture.
