Strain Engineering & Synthetic Biology

Strain engineering is where the value of a bioprocess is set. The work starts with a clear engineering roadmap — target molecule, host selection, and the genetic edits needed to get there — across yeast, fungi, and bacteria.

Using CRISPR-Cas9 workflows and high-throughput screening, candidate strains are built and ranked on the traits that matter downstream: titer, growth, robustness, and genetic stability. The output is not a single hero strain but a defensible selection process you can repeat and improve.

This is the foundation the rest of the protocol builds on — a producer that is ready to scale, not just to publish.
