Unlock the promise of synthetic biology by accelerating the Design-Build-Test-Learn cycle
About us
We are now at the dawn of the synthetic biology revolution, which will spawn new applications, markets, and business models, improving human lives in countless ways. This revolution will be driven by new technologies that enable DNA writing at speed and scale. To catalyze this revolution, Elegen is creating a suite of ground-breaking technologies to achieve DNA writing with unparalleled speed, cost, and quality. Elegen is unlocking the power to reprogram biology and create biologic solutions in order to solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges. Founded and led by Dr. Matthew Hill and located in San Carlos, CA, Elegen is a stealth-mode company that is well capitalized by top life science investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, 8VC, and KdT. The company is advised and staffed by leading biotechnology scientists and entrepreneurs, including Dr. Marc Unger, inventor of the Nanoflex™ valve and former CSO of Fluidigm. Dr. Hill has a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of advancing innovative technologies from invention to commercial success.

Huge congrats to Genentech for their publication “Exploring the Impact of In Vitro-Transcribed mRNA Impurities on Cellular Responses” in Analytical Chemistry (American Chemical Society). Their team examined abortive transcripts, poly(A) tail length, and dsRNA byproducts to determine structure–function relationships that may affect safety or limit efficacy of cellular responses. Great step forward for mRNA therapeutics! https://hubs.ly/Q02_Wnvn0 #AnalyticalChemistry #polyA #mRNAvaccines #GeneticMedicines #IVTreadyDNA #mRNAtherapeutics #CellFreeCloning

“Synthetic DNA as an Alternative to Plasmids” in the latest issue of BioPharm International discusses advanced cell-free technologies with higher-throughput, smaller footprints, and more repeatable in vitro approaches to replace fickle cells. Specific advantages include high yields, simpler purification, no concern about bacterial or antibiotic resistance genes, reduced risk of residual host-DNA and endotoxin impurities, and a smaller footprint allowing scale flexibility with efficiency and speed.
