Neugenesis Corporation operates in the biotechnology research sector, with a focus on generating more effective biotherapeutics in a cost-efficient manner. Its work spans discovery, enhancement, and production of complex proteins, particularly heteromeric proteins, leveraging advances in directed evolution, combinatorial biology, and recombinant protein expression, with initial work centered on the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Based in Burlingame, California, the company emphasizes value creation for biopharmaceutical development through its specialized protein science capabilities. Although small in size, Neugenesis has contributed to biotechnological methods that support improved protein design and production, and it was acquired by Intrexon Corporation in April 2011. The company’s activities situate it within the biotechnology research landscape, addressing challenges in protein engineering and expression that are relevant to drug development and related fields.
