Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, operating in the research services sector, is based in Palo Alto, California. The organization maintains a small team dedicated to researching molecular systems engineering, designing safeguards, and developing guidelines for responsible research and development practices to minimize risks of accidental misuse and intentional abuse. IMM has engaged in partnerships with external entities, including VGXI, Inc., which dates back to 2018. Molecular manufacturing is presented as a future technology capable of building large objects at atomic precision using robotic mechanisms to manipulate molecules. The field has undergone theoretical study for more than fifteen years, and components of molecular machines are being built today with expectations of maturation within the next decade. If realized, it could enable powerful computers, widespread high-quality consumer goods, and devices able to cure diseases by repairing the body at the molecular level, with IMM's emphasis on safety guiding research and development.
