Engineer Biology with a Biofoundry.

Automation-enabled infrastructure for building, testing, characterizing, and scaling biological systems, from genetic and strain variants to mammalian cell engineering, screening and microbial bioprocesses.

For academic researchers, startups, industry teams, and translational partners.

An iterative approach to biological engineering

Design →

Define the biological question, identify relevant factors, and establish starting designs and experimental strategy.

Build →

Create biological systems, libraries, and variants using parallel, automation-enabled workflows.

Test →

Run screens, assays, and analytical measurements across designs and conditions.

Learn ↻

Review results, select promising directions, and steer the next design–build–test cycle.

Scale

Advance relevant microbial systems toward process development and production.

From genetic and strain variants to mammalian cell engineering and assays, our platforms help researchers explore more biological designs and experimental conditions.

We develop and adapt automated workflows for DNA assembly, transformation, culturing, testing, and screening at higher throughput.
