Deep-Tech Startups Support Program

Research theme

in silico enzyme libray development

Business Plan

We have developed an enzyme development platform by using bioinformatics. In recent years, due to trends such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the needs of enzyme users have become more diverse, and there is a demand for rapid development.
However, enzyme manufacturers lack the means to develop quickly. In this project, we aim to establish manufacturing techniques for in silico-designed enzyme libraries to facilitate rapid production and development.

Research Outline

To achieve our goal, we will undertake the following three stages of research and development:

  • 〔1〕Development of an in silico enzyme expression strain design system.
  • 〔2〕Automation of enzyme performance evaluation experiments.
  • 〔3〕Implementation of a sample-level enzyme production platform.
