We are a full service synthetic biology company.

At Conagen Inc., we’re changing the way natural products are manufactured, with molecule-per-molecule precision and customization. Through synthetic biology, we uncover the metabolic pathways in nature, engineer unique microbes, and develop high-quality products through specialized fermentation. We serve the food, beverage, fragrance, nutrition, renewable materials, and biopharma markets.

Our proprietary strain development and notable scale-up processes have made Conagen a leading synthetic biology company, able to manufacture natural ingredients via fermentation at commercial scales.

In short, we bypass the inherent problems of supply chain management—materials procurement, shipping, and quality assurance—by creating the same flavors and fragrances and producing them via fermentation. This increases speed to market: with our manufacturing capabilities we can deliver at scales from micrograms to metric tons.
