About Ankit Singhal

He has worked in both wet labs and computational labs (focusing on catalysis and structural biology/biophysics) for years. He published several first-author papers as early as high school, won and led national teams at international science/research competitions – he’s excited to lead Anthrogen’s damp lab approach.

Anthrogen

Anthrogen uses genetically modified bacteria and optimized enzymes to turn carbon from the air into cheap chemicals. Think Solugen but for more complex molecules/enzyme cascades and using atmospheric carbon instead of sugar as a base.

We have engineered the fastest photosynthesizing organism in the world with CRISPR and use generative models to design our enzymatic cascades. We are stating with jet/rocket fuel but will expand to other verticals soon.
