Design. Engineer. Verify. Learn.
We are a company of next-generation innovators who see possibilities everywhere. Our PlantSpring™ technology platform provides plant-based synthetic biology solutions to customers across multiple industries to build a more sustainable world. This technology enables us to accelerate development cycles, reduce development costs, and discover new plant-derived compounds for future commercialization efforts.
Design
We identify metabolic pathways, target genes controlling these pathways, develop strategies for optimized expression of the target genes, and design the technical approach to achieve the targeted compound.
Engineer
We engineer changes directly into plant cells using a combination of tissue culture, gene editing capabilities, and transformation.
Verify
We rapidly produce compounds and verify them against customer specifications using natural product chemistries, metabolomics, genomics, and gene expression tools to ensure the exact compound has been produced to the customer need.
Learn
Throughout the cycle, aided by artificial intelligence and machine learning, the data we collect is processed and reapplied to enhance and accelerate learnings for the production of the target compound.
Faster Pace of Innovation
Our pilot bioreactor, the BioFactory™, enables the delivery of new compounds ready for commercial scale production in less than 36 months.
Built on over a Decade of Plant Metabolism Engineering Experience
Calyxt enables the acceleration of development cycles and identification of previously unknown plant-based compounds. We leverage the vast amounts of data accumulated over our history to discover and deliver new plant-derived compounds for our customers.
