Biotechnology
We use recombinant DNA technology and synthetic chemistry to develop proteins and peptides with applications in research, therapy, diagnostic and bioprocessing. Here is a general flow chart of our areas of actuation.
Analysis & Production
Peptides
Proteins
- Determine the structural identity and stability
- Use scalable recombinant production protocols (milligrams)
