Chemistry from Nature
Unlocking nature’s catalysts to power cheaper, safe & green industrial chemistry
About
Our Ethos
ErebaGen activates silent biosynthetic pathways to discover powerful new biocatalysts and chemistry, enabling greener, more efficient routes to the world’s most important chemicals.
Specialised metabolism has a greater, more flexible chemical pool than primary metabolism.
Traditional chemistry can’t meet tomorrow’s manufacturing needs
Global chemical production faces rising costs, supply-chain pressure, and the challenge of reaching net-zero. Meanwhile, most biocatalysis today draws from just a tiny fraction of nature’s chemistry, primary metabolism, limiting what can be made biologically.
To unlock new chemical capabilities, we need access to the vast reservoir of reactions, enzymes, and molecules found in specialised microbial metabolism.
ErebaGen turns hidden biosynthetic pathways into industrial solutions
Our platform activates the 80–90% of microbial metabolism that remains silent in the lab, revealing enzymes and pathways impossible to access through conventional synthetic biology.
We combine:
Computational prediction to identify promising pathways
Genetic engineering to activate and edit biosynthetic clusters
High-throughput automation to characterise novel enzymes and chemistry
Scalable bioprocess development to move discoveries into manufacturing
The result:
Sustainable, scalable routes to complex chemistry, discovered and engineered in weeks, not years.
Biocatalysts and pathways that solve real industrial problems
We work with partners across pharma, biotech, and chemical manufactoring to:
-
Replace hazardous or inefficient chemical steps
-
Access new-to-industry biocatalytic chemistry
-
Develop greener, more cost-effective manufacturing routes
-
Discover novel scaffolds and intermediates
-
Build largedatasets linking enzyme sequence to function
From challenging chemical transformations to multi-enzyme cascades, ErebaGen delivers solutions nature has already evolved and industry has never been able to reach.
