ABOUT
HERlab is a synbio and AI startup that uses unconventional microorganisms and LLM to find and develop specialised microbial expression systems for complex protein production.
In our UK-based laboratory, we are working to scale up our recent successes with proteins that require human-like glycosylation and other human-origin proteins that have never been industrially produced before.
We are looking for opportunities to help pharmaceutical, cosmetics, or protein engineering companies, that have novel or complex protein production requirements.
