CATALYZING CHANGE
At Hephaistos, we are revolutionizing the chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries with our innovative approach to enzyme catalysis.
Founded by six dedicated ETH Zurich Biotechnology Master students, we combine expertise in machine learning, enzyme design, and biochemistry to create sustainable solutions for industrial processes.
The problem
In today's rapidly evolving industries, the demand for efficient and sustainable processes is greater than ever. Traditional chemical synthesis often relies on harsh conditions and toxic reagents, generating significant waste and making it both environmentally and economically sub-optimal.
Streamlining the discovery and development of these enzyme catalysts is essential for a sustainable and prosperous future.
Our solution
Hephaistos is transforming the creation of novel enzyme catalysts. Our machine-learning model learns from atomistic 3D structure data of existing enzymes to generate novel catalytic cores for any desired reaction, even on substrates not found in nature.
