Our mission
Build the expertise and production foundation to become a global leader in heme proteins.
Explore the platformWhy production is difficult
Function requires more than expression.
Cofactor incorporation
The iron-containing heme cofactor must work with the surrounding protein, not simply be present.
Application-specific needs
Production and preparation choices depend on the target, use case, development stage, and material requirement.
Flagship demonstration
Explore AerusAerus begins with erythrocruorin. The platform reaches further.
Our work on erythrocruorin led to Aerus, Synfera's first product programme. It demonstrates the kind of complex heme-protein challenge that defines our broader mission.
