Chemical manufacturing is undergoing a period of change, from an era focused on petrochemical-derived chemical synthesis or plant extraction to one which leverages engineered chemical biosynthesis in microbes for biomanufacturing. At Manus Bio, we have developed a robust technology platform from discovery to manufacturing which enables the economical and sustainable production of typically rare complex natural products. Our engineered microbes are capable of converting carbon feedstock to product at high yields and have been adapted to produce a mature pipeline of complex products.
