Technological Innovation
Synthetic biology is known as the third biotechnology revolution after the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA and the Human Genome Project, representing the new direction of the future life science industry. The U.S. Department of Defense has listed synthetic biology as one of the six disruptive technologies to be prioritized for development in the 21st century, and the Department of Business Innovation and Skills of the United Kingdom has listed synthetic biology as one of the eight major technologies of the future, and China will include synthetic biology in the "14th Five-Year Plan" in 2022.
Synthetic biology is a discipline guided by engineering ideas to redesign and remodel natural biological systems, and at the same time design and synthesize new biological components and systems to solve the problems of human food shortage, energy shortage, environmental pollution, medical and health care. It has obvious industrial advantages such as low cost of products, mild reaction conditions and less pollution to the environment.
As the only company in the world that builds green manufacturing of marine microalgae and industrial microbial chassis at the same time, LightSyn Technology has tapped into the rich marine microbial resources and unique bioactives to develop a number of innovative pipelines, as well as utilizing synthetic biotechnology to build cellular factories to lay out organic acids, polyols, natural product derivatives and other green raw materials with different market scales, which have great potential for application in downstream scenarios such as beauty care, food and healthcare, green agriculture and so on. The company has huge application potential in downstream scenarios such as beauty and personal care, food and healthcare, and green agriculture.
