In this pilot lab, supported by funds from NEDO; smart cells can be developed in less than one-fifth of the conventional time by combining proprietary long-chain DNA synthesis technology, high-throughput recombination technology, and high-speed, high-precision cell metabolite measurement technology. By using these systems to acquire enormous amounts of cell characteristics at high speed with high accuracy and design more appropriate metabolic pathways, smart cell candidate cells can be obtained with 20 times higher selection efficiency than before. You can. Since the development of smart cells, which took a long time, can be overwhelmingly shortened, mass production of highly functional substances becomes possible.
