BEYOND PHARMA

One science.
Different industries.

Our work in molecular interactions, formulation and enzyme function suggests possibilities beyond pharma. Here are the kinds of questions we could explore with partners in other industries.

Agriculture

Crop-protection actives may depend on binding to targets in pests or pathogens. Our interaction methods offer a starting point for studying that behavior.

Target identification for crop-protection activesExploring resistance in pests and pathogensEnzyme engineering for biopesticides

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Molecular attraction and repulsion shape solubility and formulation behavior. We have modeling experience here that could be explored for personal care products.

Formulation & solubility questionsIngredient interaction & phase behaviorExploring fragrance-receptor binding

Food & Beverage

Taste and smell involve molecules interacting with receptors. This could be a promising direction where data is limited, provided the question can be tested experimentally.

Flavor and taste receptor bindingIngredient formulation & stabilityNovel ingredient screening

Industrial Biotech & Biocatalysis

Substrate binding and stability under process conditions are enzyme-function questions. Our enzyme design work offers a relevant foundation to explore them.

HONEST NOTE

These are possible applications, not a claim that we already serve each of these sectors. Every project would begin by understanding the specific problem, available data and how the result could be tested.
