Making the Medicines
of Tomorrow a Reality
Optogenetic Solutions: Enabling Next-Gen Drugs With Light

Access to Life-Saving Medicine
Isn’t a Privilege — It’s a Right!

We believe no one should be denied the most promising treatments because manufacturing is too costly or not possible at scale. Yet today, millions of patients are left waiting as life-saving medicines remain out of reach – because of exactly these issues.

We exist to change that. Our mission is to transform the way advanced drugs are made, eliminating wasteful, expensive production methods and ultimately making these breakthrough therapies scalable, sustainable, and accessible for all.

At Ningaloo Biosystems, we’re not just imagining a future where everyone has access to the best medicine — we’re building it!

Transforming How
Advanced Medicines Are Made

Through our pioneering light-based technology, we bring real-time control to bioreactor processes by precisely modulating the activity of production cells. Powered by synthetic biology, our platform empowers biopharma companies to break through productivity barriers and lower prohibitive costs of manufacturing complex biopharmaceuticals.

Because everyone deserves a chance in life — and access to the medicines that make it possible.

Converting Cells into Light-Controlled Machines — Discover the Possibilities

Enabling Advanced Medicines

Exciting, more effective treatment options are now on the horizon.

We revolutionize the way new types of complex biologically produced medicines can become a reality.

Quicker time to treatment

Current bioproduction lacks standardization, automation and scalability to reach the high reliability levels needed for making complex biopharmaceuticals.

Our cyber bioproduction platform unlocks de-risking in manufacturing and quality control, while ensuring improved scalability.

Health Economics Impact

Productivity and scalability are at the center of drug production economics – and so is affordability for patients and payers.

With our approach for dynamic process control, we will help make production economically sustainable and treatments affordable.

We are Ningaloo

With a unique blend of scientific and industrial know-how and the unwavering grit of true pioneers, our team is ready to transform the way life-saving medicines are delivered to the world.
