The company, founded and headquartered in the Bay area of California and already is a leading provider of genome engineering solutions.
The company is transforming molecular biology into information science. With their unique state of the art fully automated production processes (without Human interaction) they have perfected practically error free biological molecule synthesis and with a scalability allowing industrial scale ramp up of product.
The flagship product (CRISPR) is a portfolio of synthetic guide RNA for CRISPR genome editing and research. The company’s vision is to bring precision and automation to genome engineering, enabling fast and inexpensive research with consistent results for every scientist. Researchers should be able to run their own laboratory at low cost and thereby perform millions of controlled, repeatable experiments per day without human error.
The company plans to significantly lower the barrier to entry into life sciences research by putting together the foundations for a decentralized, software-driven, massively parallel world of research.
The company is currently working with many top life science universities to conduct CRISPR research in applications such as human stem cells, adherent cell lines, and mouse embryos.
Customers include leading institutions in over 30 countries around the world, 8 of the world’s 10 largest biotechnology companies, and 24 of the top 25 global biology universities.
