About Colorifix

About company

Colorifix is the first company to apply biological dyeing to the commercial dyeing of polyamide-based jersey, polyester and cotton fabrics, and research is already underway to apply the technology to other natural and synthetic fabrics. Synthetic biology technology is already safely utilised at scale in other industries such as the production of textile scouring enzymes and bio-based chemicals. Colorifix was founded in 2016 by Drs James Ajioka, Orr Yarkoni and David Nugent following their successful collaboration on a project funded by the Wellcome Trust to develop a biosensor for detecting arsenic in drinking water.
