About Manus Bio

Chemical manufacturing is undergoing a period of transition, from an era focused on petrochemical-derived chemical synthesis and plant extraction to one which leverages the power of biotechnology and biomanufacturing. Manus Bio was founded in 2011 with the mission of developing an economical and sustainable biomanufacturing platform, particularly for accessing rare and complex natural ingredients. The concept behind Manus Bio emerged when a group of biochemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recognized a glaring gap which exists in the sustainable sourcing of many chemicals and ingredients used in our daily lives, from clothing and cosmetics to our medicines and food. Together, the rapid commoditization of genome sequencing and gene synthesis and the growing understanding of cellular function offered by systems biology made the otherwise daunting task of engineering biology much more tractable. Today, Manus Bio has deployed a mature end-to-end commercial platform for the discovery and economical biomanufacturing of a variety of complex natural products, thus truly making nature more accessible, affordable and sustainable.
