The company focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of enzymes and other protein-based solutions. Its primary technology platform, CodeEvolver, enables directed evolution and protein engineering to create high-performance biocatalysts for chemical transformations, improving efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing processes. The company serves primarily pharmaceutical manufacturers, offering products such as advanced biocatalyst panels, kits for chemistry screening, and customized enzyme development services. Additionally, Codexis applies its platform to identify novel biotherapeutic drug candidates and develop enzymes for molecular biology research and in vitro diagnostics. As of the latest data, the company has 146 employees and generated revenues of approximately $68.5 million in FY 2019, but has shown negative profitability in recent periods (net margin -41%). Key financial metrics indicate a market cap of around $135 million, with significant R&D and SG&A expenses relative to revenue (61.1% and 56% respectively), reflecting a focus on innovation despite current losses. The company went public in April 2010 on NASDAQ. Led by CEO Alison Moore (as of November 2025), the company remains committed to advancing enzyme-based solutions for sustainable therapeutic development, particularly in RNA manufacturing and precision medicine.
