Pathfinder Bio Information

Pathfinder Bio is a deep-tech biotechnology company developing improved enzymes, reagents and production systems for molecular biology, diagnostics and industrial biotechnology. We combine enzyme engineering, ultra-high-throughput selection, low-cost recombinant protein production and practical product development to help partners move faster from enzyme concept to usable material. Our work includes: Enzyme discovery and engineering - including a proprietary ultra-high-throughput selection platform for identifying and improving enzyme variants. High-performance molecular biology enzymes and reagents - including polymerases, ligases, PCR mastermixes and related research-use reagents. Cofactor recycling and biocatalysis enzymes - supporting practical enzyme-enabled chemistry, screening and process development. Scalable E. coli enzyme production - using a proprietary low-cost production approach capable of high recombinant protein yields, with demonstrated production up to approximately 5 g/L target protein. Custom enzyme and protein supply - from early screening quantities through to crude enzyme/protein supply up to kilogram scale. Technology transfer and licensing - including options for partners to access Pathfinder Bio’s enzyme engineering and production methods under licence. Grant and consortium partnerships - supporting enzyme discovery, improvement, production and application work for Innovate UK, Horizon Europe and other collaborative R&D programmes. Early-stage diagnostics and IVD R&D support - including rapid, low-cost enzyme, reagent, plasmid and assay development for preclinical and feasibility-stage projects. Pathfinder Bio is built for partners who need more than just our catalogue enzymes. We work at the interface of enzyme engineering, molecular biology, recombinant production and applied biomanufacturing, helping turn enzyme ideas into practical tools, products and scalable processes.
