About Anodyne

Our Story

Anodyne is a Canadian startup with the vision to make the chemical industry sustainable by harnessing the potential of enzymes. Our enzymatic platform is created through a pioneering approach that combines the evolutionary advantages of biology with the efficiencies of the chemical industry. By transitioning from fossil to fossil-free manufacturing, we seek to play a key role in solving one of the grand challenges of our time – how to produce affordable, sustainable products that we use every day.

We are striving to build the industry’s leading chemical technology platform, the infrastructure to accelerate scale-up, a rapidly expanding pipeline, and a world-class team. Our pipeline includes development candidates for fuels, polymers, food additives and pharmaceutical ingredients, and we have multiple trials underway with other development candidates. In addition, we have initiated discovery programs with leading research universities, expanding the potential impact for our technologies.
