    Test your strains with us

    Test all of your promising new strains in a deep-well plate or a stirred-tank bioreactor to simulate performance at scale. We make all the data available to you so you can review your strain’s performance — and we help you guide the design of your next IDEA.

    Scale up confidently

    De-risk scale-up by robustly characterizing your process and modelling production-tank heterogeneities at lab scale using parallel bioreactors. We can design an entirely new set of strains to suit your needs and requirements.

    Learn by modelling

    To better understand biology, we draw on expertise from across UQ and global partners to create mathematical models that guide your new design. We are implementing novel ML algorithms to query data at the deepest level.
