Conagen

Conagen is an accomplished biotechnology company located in the greater Boston biotech corridor. We innovate and develop synthetic biology solutions for supporting global partners across a spectrum of current and developing markets. From our proprietary strain development to fermentation and process scale-up, Conagen impacts partners' abilities to sell and market products in the food, nutrition, flavor and fragrance, pharmaceutical, and renewable materials industries. Our bio-manufacturing capabilities, coupled with extensive platforms of enzymes and microorganisms, gives us the edge in commercial biotechnology. Nature is our inspiration for designing metabolic pathways, improving production organisms, and optimizing production processes. Our discovery and development methods foster sustainability and improve efficiency—from lab to world scale. Plant biology ignited the spark for the creation of Conagen. Today, our bioengineering teams are experts in enzymatic bioconversion and fermentation technology. Nature is our guide for innovating ways to produce natural products and materials. This approach gets us to market faster with better products made competitively and sustainably. Simply, our distinction is creating molecules that are identical to what nature produces. Many of the innovative natural products we make at Conagen are truly proprietary. They are the only ones on the market that are made by natural fermentation which means they are produced biologically and sustainably unlike most chemically synthesized products. As a vertically integrated biotech company, we engage in research and development as well as world-scale production. The advantage at Conagen is our ability to direct the manufacturing of our products. We can rapidly scale our strains to produce what our partners need while maintaining the highest level of quality control throughout the entire process. Scaling up from micrograms to metric tons is our expertise.
