Who we are

PURELIX is a London-based synthetic biology research organisation dedicated to developing advanced biomanufacturing technologies. We focus on transforming complex natural molecules into scalable, high-purity, and environmentally responsible bio-derived ingredients through engineered microbial systems and precision fermentation.

Our Mission

To redefine the global supply of high-value natural ingredients by delivering precision, sustainability, and full traceability through synthetic biology.

Our goal is to ensure that essential biomaterials are no longer limited by natural scarcity, unstable quality, or environmental pressure. PURELIX builds the technologies that enable reliable, high-performance production for future-facing industries.

What We Do

PURELIX develops end-to-end biomanufacturing platforms that integrate:

  • Computational pathway modelling & enzyme design

  • Microbial strain engineering using advanced gene-editing tools

  • Controlled precision fermentation systems

  • Green downstream purification technologies

Our research supports a wide range of applications across nutraceuticals, functional foods, beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials.

Our Scientific Team

PURELIX is powered by an international team of scientists and engineers with expertise in:

  • Synthetic biology

  • Metabolic and protein engineering

  • Bioprocess and fermentation development

  • Industrial biotechnology and scale-up

Our researchers come from globally recognised universities and institutes, contributing both academic depth and real-world industrial experience.

Our Approach

We build biomanufacturing systems guided by three core principles:

  1. Precision
    Robust engineering and data-driven optimisation ensure consistent, reproducible output.

  2. Sustainability
    Our processes reduce environmental impact and minimise reliance on endangered or low-yield natural resources.

  3. Scalability
    PURELIX technologies are designed to transition smoothly from lab-scale to commercial production.
