We engineer cellular metabolism to cure diseases and reduce global warming

To solve humanity's most urgent challenges — new antibiotics, cures for genetic diseases, a restored planet — Metabolica harnesses the power of cellular metabolism. Using advanced computational modeling, we unlock groundbreaking solutions for a healthier, more secure future.

The immediate goal: clean steel and cement

Steel and cement are essential for constructing our cities, but their production contributes significantly to global warming. Even with renewable energy, these processes release CO₂, responsible for 7% of annual global emissions.

Cell cultures of genetically modified bacteria can offer a solution by converting CO₂ emissions into valuable non-volatile compounds. However, developing these bacterial solutions is expensive and time-consuming.

Affordable cell-culture engineering

We computationally predict a cell culture's capacity to consume CO₂ and produce valuable metabolic commodities like isopropanol, eliminating costly and time-intensive lab experiments.
