PLAN WITH US Our laboratory is not yet open, but we’re ready to discuss and plan your custom lipid project.

OUR TEAM

Three specialties.
A shared life in lipids.

We previously worked together at Avanti Polar Lipids. Now we’re building a small, independent company where researchers can work directly with the people responsible for their molecules.

Will Clem, PhD

Co-Founder & Head of Business Development

Will leads business development and customer relationships. He also brings prior experience in bulk lipid synthesis at Avanti Polar Lipids.

These are our primary responsibilities, not rigid boundaries. Our experience overlaps, and we work together on the details of each project.

Your next molecule starts with a conversation.
