About Us
🚀 Do you want to join those shifting industrial chemistry from petrol to green chemistry?
Exapto is a synbio company creating biocomponents with no equivalents know in nature. By integrating those in strains and production processes, Exapto offers disruptive solutions to both ameliorate existing bioproductions and get to chemicals that were previously not accessible from renewable resources.
🌍 This is done by collaborating with leading scientists globally (today Charité in Berlin & DTU in Copenhagen and Ecole Polytechnique, near Paris).
Exapto’s solutions provide key foundations for the large-scale bio-manufacturing of industry relevant chemicals. Backed international investors, the company has been founded by Philippe Marlière, synbio expert with 100+ patents and cofounder of several companies (2 exits and 1 IPO), together with Guillaume Dupont, 20+ years in tech investing and co-founder of VC fund Caphorn.
Job Summary
We are seeking a talented and motivated Enzymologist to establish and lead our in vitro enzyme characterization activities. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in enzyme biochemistry, assay development, and protein characterization. This role is at the heart of our discovery engine: you will build the experimental foundation that guides the evolution of our new-to-nature enzymes and turns novel activities into industrially relevant biocatalysts, working hand in hand with our strain and process engineering teams.
