Arzeda and TeselaGen Partner to Advance Biodesign Technologies for Industrial Biotechnology
Michael Fero, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, TeselaGen, said, “I believe that the combination of Arzeda’s advanced computational design infrastructure with the TeselaGen platform will yield one of the most advanced information technology systems for the forward engineering of microbial systems in the world.”
He continued, “TeselaGen is building a platform that automates and optimizes protocol generation and information flow for biomanufacturing. Our hypothesis is that biotechnology is essentially an information technology. Improving the flow, handling and interpretation of information is a tremendous accelerant for biotech product development.”
“TeselaGen has created a unique solution for DNA assembly design,” said George McArthur, Ph.D., Research Scientist at Arzeda. “As an Alpha Access Program member, we have already significantly improved the efficiency of our genetic design-build workflow using TeselaGen’s genetic engineering CAD software. With this collaboration, we are looking forward to scaling our workflow even further.”
About ArzedaArzeda, The Protein Design Company™, is harnessing the power of computational protein design and synthetic biology to create products that can compete on performance, cost and sustainability.
