With the power to skillfully write meaningful DNA sequences, we embark on a new era where precise control over biology and the manipulation of matter in our environment is possible. Constructive Biology is a spin out from the laboratory of Prof. Jason Chin at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. Our platform allow us to fundamentally reprogram the genetic code, and make molecules that nature could not make before. We will use our technologies to biosynthesize new classes of enzymes, pharmaceuticals and biomaterials. If you would like to join our team, get in touch!
