About Us

We are DNA experts, artists, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs on a mission to set a new standard in biotech.

We set out to overcome the limitations of pDNA production by engineering a microbial pDNA superhero – and we did it!

Now, we are partnering with leading companies to share this transformative technology and help bring new genetic medicines within reach of patients everywhere.
