Our History
In 2008 and 2010, computational biologists Eric Althoff, David Baker, Daniela Grabs and Alexandre Zanghellini published seminal papers that revolutionized enzyme design and engineering in the elite journals Science and Nature. For the first time, it was possible to by-pass billions of years of natural evolution and use computers to design new building blocks for life, enabling the efficient and sustainable production of almost any molecule.
With the aim of implementing this pioneering work, the team of scientists laid the groundwork for Arzeda Corporation with preliminary operations at the University of Washington Center for Commercialization (now CoMotion).
Today, Arzeda has built the world’s premier protein and pathway design software. The technology is being implemented alongside the latest synthetic biology techniques to create new enzymes and chemical products that can compete on performance, cost and sustainability.
Arzeda is firmly committed to harnessing the power of synthetic biology to provide clever solutions for today’s most pressing global needs. Above all, we believe our aims are best achieved in a vibrant discovery environment that fosters creativity, integrity and a dedication to scientific rigor and perseverance.
