Integrated biofoundry

Overview

Utilizing biotechnology (genome editing technology, DNA synthesis technology, etc.) and digital technology (IT and AI), we can design microorganisms to produce new substances (Design), create the designed microorganisms (Build), select excellent microorganisms from among the created microorganisms (Test), and analyze the measured data from the constructed microorganisms (Learn). The DBTL flow is rotated at a high speed to enhance functions and add new functions to microorganisms, including the integrated analysis of measured data (Learn). We can efficiently produce various substances such as pharmaceutical raw materials, fuels, plastics, food additives, and cosmetic raw materials.

Product / Service / PR

    In health and medical industry, even if a drug candidate with excellent efficacy and effectiveness is discovered, product development is often suspended because it cannot be mass-produced or commercialized using conventional chemical synthesis and cultivation methods. Our technology enables the efficient production of pharmaceutical raw materials or intermediates of microbial origin, and contributes to the reduction of drug prices of existing products.

    Nondestructive imaging apparatus of electric current - Focus 001 -
    Focus 001 is a nondestructive high resolution imaging diagnostic technology for next-generation electric battery or electric devices. In the imaging procedure, two-dimensional distribution of magnetic field and the gradient of the magnetic field are measured, and a magnetic field distribution close to its source is reconstructed using these data matrixes. The usage of two boundary conditions of Maxwell-equation make the precise reconstruction possible even if there is a various stray magnetic sources around the magnetic field sensor, such as detector circuits or mechanical parts.
