Developing New Technologies in Life Sciences
New Technology Utilizing
Cell-Free Protein Synthesis Systems
The cell-free protein synthesis system is an innovative technology capable of executing the processes of "transcription and translation" necessary for protein synthesis within a test tube in approximately one hour. Utilizing this technology, we are advancing novel methodologies for the mass production of materials intended for food, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as for generating functional proteins such as enzymes and antibodies that support health monitoring.
New Technology for Discovering Useful Antibodies
Antibodies are a class of proteins generated during an animal's immune response. Utilizing their capacity to recognize and bind to specific substances, they are employed in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases to identify viruses and other compounds. We are engaged in developing technologies to identify and develop such valuable antibodies efficiently and cost-effectively.
New Technology for Creating Useful Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that serve as biological catalysts, facilitating the acceleration of chemical reactions. These enzymes are extensively utilized in various industrial applications, including food processing, detergents, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic reagents, and biofuel production. We are engaged in developing technologies for "evolutionary molecular engineering,' which enable the creation of enhanced enzyme molecules derived from naturally occurring enzymes.
