BERKELEY YEAST

Our work at Berkeley Yeast is focused on a humble organism: yeast. As scientists, we see enormous potential in these controllable, reliable, and easily scalable biofactories. We unlock this potential by bioengineering yeast strains that can transform the way we make fermented foods and beverages at commercial scale in surprising and beneficial ways wherever fermentation is used... Berkeley Yeast bioengineers yeast strains with new properties that benefit fermentation for brewers and beyond... At its best, science is propelled by natural curiosity: wondering at the falling of an apple or the blinking of a point of light in the night sky. The application of scientific discoveries, however, has a mixed history. New discoveries can be leveraged to achieve incredible benefits, but if used irresponsibly, can cause harm. Which is why, at Berkeley Yeast, we have an unwavering commitment to ensuring that our work benefits the planet and people. This is sometimes overt: developing a strain..
