AMYRIS IS APPLYING AN INDUSTRIAL SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY
PLATFORM TO PROVIDE HIGH-PERFORMING ALTERNATIVES
TO PETROLEUM-SOURCED FUELS AND CHEMICALS
Amyris Science
Our industrial synthetic biology platform modifies microorganisms, such as yeast, and uses them as living factories to convert plant-sourced sugars into target molecules.
Fighting Malaria
Malaria is a preventable, curable disease that claims the lives of more than a million people a year.
We first developed and applied our technology to create microbial strains that produce artemisinic acid, a precursor of artemisinin, a highly effective anti-malarial therapeutic.
