Lygos employs cutting edge synthetic biology techniques to generate microbial catalysts to convert agricultural feedstocks into fine and commodity chemicals. Our robust high throughput screening and strain construction facilitates the rapid optimization of pathways to convert cheap and renewable feedstock to high value chemicals.
NewLeaf Symbiotics® is at the forefront of sustainable agriculture technology, with a singular focus on the identification, development and commercialization of the beneficial microbes called pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (M-trophs). This new class of agricultural microbes is helping transition agricultural products and production to deliver better quality crops, with less impact on the environment — a win-win for growers and those of us who depend on their success.
The approach is an autologous, cell-based treatment that activates the full array of patient-specific antigens, resulting in both an innate and adaptive immune response. The company`s lead program is in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an extremely aggressive form of brain cancer with a significant unmet need. In parallel, the company is also progressing the platform in a select number of additional solid tumors where the unmet need remains great and where initial immunotherapy approaches have often failed to provide a significant benefit.
We make robots for biologists. Our mission is to provide the scientific community with a common platform to easily share protocols and reproduce each other`s results. Our robots automate experiments that would otherwise be done by hand, allowing our community to spend more time pursuing answers to some of the 21st century`s most important questions.
