BUSINESS
Develops a continuous fermentation platform that decouples growth and production phases to address contamination, genetic drift, and scalability for synthetic biology products. The company's dual-chamber continuous system decouples microbial growth from production, addressing the contamination and genetic drift problems that have historically limited continuous fermentation. Opened a 25,000 sq ft FDA-registered facility in Alameda (March 2025) with bench-to-pilot continuous fermentation, DSP (spray drying, lyophilization), and food-grade cleanroom. Partnership with Bühler Group (December 2025).
