Launch of Antimalarial Drug a Triumph for Synthetic Biology

keasling and kids

Twelve years ago, Berkeley Lab's Jay Keasling used synthetic biology to engineer microbes to inexpensively produce the critical chemical component of artemisinin, a drug that represents a lifesaver for the nearly 300 million people in developing nations who contract malaria each year. Now a microbial-based version of artemisinin has officially become available to patients worldwide, produced by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi using a no-profit, no-loss production model to maintain a low price for those who need it most.
