TAXA Biotechnologies의 사업 내용

The TAXA platform has been specifically designed to enable anyone to perform metabolic engineering of plants without stepping into a lab. We provide access to protein engineering, DNA assembly, transient experiments and stable transformation as a service. The best thing is that anything "Powered by TAXA" is designed to be free from expensive regulatory approval, meaning the products are available for sale or distribution to consumers in the United States immediately after they are developed. For a detailed list of the experiments which can be run on our platform please see the Services page. Our vision is a world where bio-engineering is as easy and commonplace as mobile application development is today. Game-changing technologies, like genetic engineering, should not be the exclusive preserve of large corporations and a wealthy elite. Democratizing the tools of creation enables anyone, anywhere, to genetically engineer plants and will unleash a wave of creativity to power an environment where ultimately what we create is limited only by our imagination. The TAXA platform is our next step in the realization of that dream We are also the team behind the first synthetic biology crowdfunding project, raising $484k on Kickstarter to make real glowing plants:

We built the TAXA platform to let anyone perform metabolic engineering on plants without needing a lab. It offers protein engineering, DNA assembly, transient experiments, and stable transformation as services. Our platform is unique because anything created with it is designed to be free from costly regulatory approval, so products can reach customers in the US immediately after development.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan for the company to remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are based because it offers access to biotech talent and a strong startup ecosystem connected to healthcare and genetic engineering.
