Aralez Bio

Aralez Bio is a Berkeley, California-based biotechnology platform company that harnesses engineered enzymes and directed evolution to manufacture noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) for use in peptide therapeutics and sustainable chemical production. The company’s proprietary enzymatic approach enables high-purity, cost-effective, and scalable synthesis of specialty amino acids that were previously difficult or expensive to produce, replacing traditional multi-step chemical synthesis with greener biocatalytic processes. Aralez Bio operates a manufacturing plant in Berkeley and serves pharmaceutical and biotech customers seeking faster, more sustainable raw material supply chains.
