Research & Development Centers
DuPont has 14 global R&D Centers where labs perform vital research across all businesses and collaborate with partners, governments, and local communities.
The DuPont Research & Development Center in Palo Alto, California focuses on renewable, biobased products and solutions.
The Palo Alto Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley and Biotech Bay, is one of the key R&D sites for the DuPont’s Industrial Biosciences business. It’s a central location for protein engineering, enzyme production systems, and pathway engineering for chemicals, and home to applications teams in biomass conversion, fabric and household care, and textiles processing.
Our 150,000-square-foot building features a light and airy central corridor designed by scientists to promote discussion and conversation — emphasizing teamwork instead of isolated offices.
The Palo Alto Center hosts nearly 200 scientists and engineers who conduct innovative research in biochemistry, molecular biology, protein chemistry, and chemical engineering.
The Center is home to some of our most cutting-edge innovations, including biobased tires, adhesives, and elastomers; and enzymes for producing cellulosic ethanol from nonfoods like wheat straw.
