• SomaCode: Getting cell therapies where they need to go
  The Problem Cell therapies, which involve using whole, living cells to treat disease, have been heralded as a next-generation treatment paradigm for a wide variety of illnesses and conditions. However, diseases are very complex, and therapeutic cells need to be able to demonstrate equally complex behaviors in order to effectively fight them. One of the...
• Circe: Tailored Fats for Food Applications
  A fermentation-based platform that uses greenhouses gases to produce food-grade fats without the use of plants or animals. The Wyss Institute is de-risking this technology and is seeking strategic partnerships with companies and individuals who are interested in assisting with its development and commercialization.
• Circe: Transforming Greenhouse Gases into Biodegradable Products
  Circe is a platform technology that uses engineered microbes to produce valuable, biodegradable synthetic polymers from greenhouse gases, minimizing the environmental impact of manufacturing. Potential applications include biodegradable plastics and packaging, energy-efficient agriculture, clean personal care products, and more.

  eToehold: an RNA-detecting control element for use in RNA therapeutics, diagnostics and cell therapies
  This animation shows an example of an eToehold that detects and signals the presence of a specific viral RNA in a human cell. After the virus has injected its RNA into a host cell, the RNA acts as a “trigger RNA” by binding to a complementary sequence within the eToehold specifically engineered for its detection....

  Circe: Using Microbes to Make Biodegradable Products
  Current manufacturing methods release harmful greenhouse gases and pollution, and many of the products produced do not biodegrade, damaging our ecosystems even further. What if we could turn greenhouse gases into biodegradable products? Researchers at the Wyss Institute are using synthetic biology to make this a reality. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University
