Abstract
Manus Bio has received a fourth award from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a biobased route to the antimalarial drug artemisinin. The industrial biotech firm says the $2 million award will help it scale up its process for a key intermediate, dihydroartemisinic acid. Artemisinin is now extracted from sweet wormwood, but availability of the plant is subject to the vagaries of farming, Manus says.
