S12: Amyris: Taking renewable fuels and chemicals from the lab to the market

Amyris is building an integrated renewable products company to apply industrial synthetic biology to genetically modify microorganisms, primarily yeast, to serve as living factories. These modified yeast strains convert plant-sourced sugars into potentially thousands of molecules, providing a broad range of renewable chemicals and transportation fuels. This presentation will describe the technology being used to create novel yeast strains, the process of scaling from the laboratory to commercial production, and the partnerships that will pave the path to the marketplace.
