Sustainable Alternatives to Petrochemistry

Our tools enable the engineering of synthetic microbes for sustainable chemical production. For more information, see our research areas below.

Research Areas

Biocatalysis

We engineer enzymes to equip microbes with new-to-nature biocatalytic capabilities.

Biosensors

We build protein- and RNA-based tools to sense biotechnologically relevant chemicals and other stimuli.

Gene Control

We construct genetic parts and in silico models for precise and predictable gene-expression control.

HTP Technology

We develop experimental technology for the characterization of extremely large genetic variant libraries.

Data-driven Modelling

We mine our experimental data with machine learning to enable prediction and design of molecular function.

Bioprocesses

We combine our tools to build strains and processes for chemical and protein production.
