Compared to reading or editing life’s code, writing new code from scratch has remained one of biotechnology’s most complex challenges. At Ansa, we are putting nature to work, creating novel enzymatic solutions that will redefine how we build DNA. We believe that the biggest challenges our world faces will be solved using biotechnology and that DNA synthesis is the fuel for that transformation. Our enzyme-based approach (published in Nature Biotechnology) promises to dramatically accelerate innovation in biological research and biotechnology, including therapeutics, diagnostics, biomanufacturing, and synthetic biology. We look forward to our DNA products making an impact.

We believe the success of our team is based on our commitment to these core values -

• Rigorously Innovating - We’re building an incredibly complex, hugely interdisciplinary, and technically demanding technology. We’re rigorous, diligent, strategic, creative, and committed. Tough challenges energize us to find creative and thrilling solutions.

• Building It Together - We are revolutionizing the way scientists make DNA. To tackle this grand challenge, we must work together. We are transparent, reflective, humble and encouraging of each other, because we understand that the knowledge and perspectives of our colleagues are key to building incredible things.

• Leading with kindness and respect - We believe that the foundations of great teamwork are kindness and respect. We cultivate a safe, high-trust workplace in which we are free to share our views, celebrate our successes, admit our mistakes – maximizing our innovative potential.
