Designing the World’s First Engineered Probiotic

Feeling your best the day after drinking isn’t guaranteed, but the scientists at ZBiotics believe that synthetic biology can help. With a passion for genetic engineering, the ZBiotics team set out to create a safe and effective probiotic that would help people enjoy a few social beverages without fear of the next morning. To do this, they needed to be the first to engineer a probiotic, prove it was safe, and bring it to market. Twist’s absolute precision in DNA synthesis was a key part of the Zbiotics journey.
