We process biomass to extract high-value bioactives while minimizing collateral hazardous waste. We care about the long-term negative effects of pollutants on soil, sediment, groundwater & surface water.
Our focus is on the natural mechanisms that plants use to fend off pests and environmental insults. We learn these important lessons and apply them to develop innovative sources of bioactives with applications in nutritional health, medicine, personal care and crop protection.
Agriculture
Plants utilize a vast array of phytochemicals produced in response to invading pests. We exploit the plant metabolome (collection of plant metabolites) to control pests utilizing a natural methodology based on the way plants protect themselves and translate this potential into high-value bioactives for crop yield improvement.
Pharmaceuticals
Plants represent a major natural source of chemical compounds with therapeutic properties and thus, the foundation for commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals. We select plant species that possess these properties and apply our PhytoStemix technology to produce these compounds, aiming at a balance between high yield and processing costs.
Personal Care
Plant stem cells have evolved robust and unique protective antioxidant systems to preserve their own structural and functional integrity, thereby ensuring plant tissue regeneration and survival. Obtaining and purifying such special stem cell protective materials to impart similar benefits to the human skin offers a rational path to achieve superior anti-aging ingredients. By adapting our PhytoStemix technology platform to harvest these natural stem cell-derived components, it is possible to develop new skin-protective products.
