HSF R&D Center
The HSF Molecular R&D Center integrates cutting-edge synthetic biology technologies and multidisciplinary R&D expertise, dedicated to analyzing and reconstructing life systems at the molecular level and advancing biomanufacturing from the laboratory to industrial scale. The HSF Molecular Laboratory boasts core technology platforms, including independent strain library construction, high-throughput screening, protein engineering, and fully automated fermentation.
In 2025, HSF spearheaded the establishment of the Shaanxi Province Synthetic Biology Innovation Center, collaborating with numerous universities and leading enterprises to create an integrated collaborative innovation system encompassing industry, academia, research, and application. With green biomanufacturing as its mission, the center continuously optimizes strain performance and fermentation processes to achieve efficient and green biosynthesis of natural products. It provides key technical support and solutions for functional foods, biopharmaceuticals, green chemicals, and other fields, empowering industrial upgrading and sustainable development
Biosynthesis Innovation Center of Shaanxi Province
The Shaanxi Province Synthetic Biology Innovation Center is a major innovation platform, led by HSF Biotech and jointly established with China Agricultural University,Shaanxi Normal University, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, and other universities and leading industry companies. Approved for establishment by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology in June 2024, the center leverages the advanced technical support of the National Key Laboratory of Green Biomanufacturing and operates professionally through market-oriented mechanisms, striving to become a core platform for collaborative innovation and industrial application of synthetic biology in Northwest China.
As the lead organization, HSF Biotech fully leverages its industry-leading and resource integration capabilities to drive the center's construction of a full-chain innovation system covering five core platforms: "cell factory R&D, enzyme engineering R&D, pilot process, functional services, and operation management." Taking the creation of core fermentation strains and key enzymes as a breakthrough, it aims to achieve a paradigm shift in natural product biomanufacturing and continuously explore new green and efficient biosynthesis pathways.
