Chakra: Sanskrit for "wheel." Our mission is to unlock the chemistry, materials, and manufacturing that keep the circle of life turning.

Nature-inspired design

Long before the first factory, microbes were building polymers that heal inside the body and break down in the ground. We engineer that biology into materials for medicine and industry, then push it past what nature does on its own.

Made by biology. Built to perform.

Our Innovation Equation

Our core innovation is a microbial platform born from breaking the silos between disciplines. We engineer microbes to turn simple feedstocks into the polymers nature has refined over billions of years, then tune and scale them for performance. In one form, it yields tunable, biocompatible materials for medicine, from implants to drug delivery. In another, it turns flexible feedstocks into chemicals and materials for industry.

Biology x Chemistry x Engineering x AI = Performance x Scale.

Build with us

The best solutions come from building together. We are looking for strategic partners to take it further, faster.
