Rebuilding nature’s pathways — with precision, scalability, and control.
Overview
Many of the most valuable natural compounds exist in nature at extremely low abundance.
Plant extraction is often constrained by scarce raw materials, low yield, unstable quality, and regulatory pressure, making long-term supply unreliable.
PURELIX® addresses this challenge at the molecular and cellular level.
Instead of relying on natural accumulation, we engineer biological systems that produce target compounds through precisely designed biosynthetic routes.
Core Capabilities
Biosynthetic Pathway Engineering
PURELIX® reconstructs natural biosynthetic pathways inside engineered microbial hosts, enabling precise control over yield, purity, and by-product formation.
Enzyme Screening & Optimisation
We identify, engineer, and optimise key enzymes to improve pathway efficiency, stability, and scalability.
Microbial Production Systems
Our work integrates strain engineering with fermentation and downstream logic, ensuring that biological performance translates into industrial feasibility.
Key Project
High-Purity Rosavin Biosynthesis & Industrial Fabrication System
Syn-Rosavin® is the flagship project of the PURELIX® platform, dedicated to the biosynthesis of Rosavin, the key active compound of Rhodiola rosea.
Natural Rosavin supply is severely limited by low plant content, overharvesting restrictions, and highly unstable quality.
Syn-Rosavin® replaces traditional extraction with a fully engineered biosynthetic pathway, enabling clean, scalable, and reproducible Rosavin production independent of plant sourcing.
By combining pathway engineering, enzyme optimisation, and controlled microbial production, Syn-Rosavin® establishes the first truly scalable Rosavin supply system.
