BUSINESS
Uses fermentation-based biosynthesis to manufacture complex small molecule pharmaceutical ingredients (KSMs and APIs) previously sourced from agriculture.
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
Core; engineers whole-cell yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) biosynthetic pathways to manufacture complex small-molecule pharmaceutical ingredients (KSMs and APIs, including opioid precursors) by fermentation as replacements for agricultural extraction.
