San Francisco, USA, 4th October 2016 / Sciad Newswire / Biologist and inventor of new transposase-based tool, Kate Caves discusses DNA2.0’s emerging cell engineering capabilities at SynBioBeta.

DNA2.0 Inc., a pioneer in bioengineering solutions, recently announced the issuance of a genomic modification patent for an innovative transposon- and transposase-based tool that, combined with the company’s industrial scale gene synthesis and machine learning expertise, shows great promise in the development of protein pharmaceuticals. Inventor and DNA2.0 biologist Kate Caves will discuss the rapidly emerging field of genomic engineering at SynBioBeta in San Francisco, in an October 4 panel titled, “Engineered Cell Therapies and Antibodies.”

“Over the past year, DNA2.0 expanded our capabilities with the acquisition of MIGS and its humanization and antibody production capabilities,” said Caves, director of business development and marketing for DNA2.0. “We believe that by combining our new antibody expertise and cell-line engineering tools, we can enable the discovery of protein pharmaceuticals on an integrated, unparalleled platform to accelerate timelines and provide outstanding quality and results for our customers.”

DNA2.0 has 16 patents in the U.S.
