Building compositional biology.

We develop technologies and infrastructure to build cells from scratch. We are working with researchers, universities, governments, and funders to create a shared ecosystem solving the world’s challenges with synthetic cells.

Powered by Nucleus.

Nucleus is an open technology platform for building synthetic cells, launched and maintained by b.next. It provides an integrated approach to engineering through materials, protocols, documentation, and software designed to work together. By standardizing the fundamentals for developing synthetic cells, Nucleus enables researchers to build on, engage with, and extend an increasingly capable system. At b.next, we build exclusively on this platform, ensuring that our work remains rooted in a transparent foundation.

Grounded in Applied Engineering.

We don't build in a vacuum. We build cells in direct partnership with the world's leading labs to ensure our infrastructure solves the most critical bottlenecks.

Closed-Loop Automation

Orchestrating complex work-flows with modular robotics to integrate design, assembly, and predictive modeling.

Reagent Manufacturing

Scaling the production of high- quality, standardized reagents for compositional
biology.

Cell
Engineering

Leading the development and integration of high precision syn-thetic biological systems.

Coordinated Research

Solving reproducibility by ensur-ing biotechnological research is interoperable and reusable across the globe.

Our commitment to openness.

We work in the open because it is the only way to solve civilization-scale challenges. Biotechnology thrives in abundance, not secrecy. b.next operates as a commercial entity to provide the technical stability and industrial scale needed to maintain the Nucleus ecosystem. Supported by global grants and government partnerships, we ensure the future of biotechnology remains a shared resource.

To ensure b.next serves as a high-trust steward for the Nucleus ecosystem, we commissioned an independent report by Conscience to survey the needs of the global synthetic cell ecosystem.

Conscience Report

Coordinating the Global Laboratory.

Our work is sustained by a global network of university labs, government agencies, and philanthropic partners. By aligning these efforts we are moving synthetic biology from isolated expierments to a coordinated global practice.
