Products
Plant-derived nutraceutical formulations (probiotic + plant bioactives)
Nutraceutical formulations combining clinically characterized probiotic strains with standardized plant-derived bioactives identified via in-silico screening and plant cell culture, targeting metabolic syndrome risk factors.
Bioengineered silk-based skincare proteins
Topical skincare ingredients based on functionalized spider silk–derived proteins produced in plants and formulated for skin elasticity, moisturization, and wrinkle reduction.
Dissolving microneedle patches using HP-PDRN and sacran
Dissolving microneedle patches composed of highly polymerized polydeoxyribonucleotides and sacran for transdermal delivery, tissue repair, and controlled API release for cosmetic and medical uses.
Dendritic nano-adjuvant emulsions
Size-controlled polyglycerol-based nano-adjuvant emulsions intended to stabilize antigens, co-deliver adjuvants, and enhance immune responses for vaccine formulations.
Virus-like particle vaccine candidates
Recombinant VLP-based vaccine candidates produced via plant transient expression and formulated with nano-adjuvants for enhanced immunogenicity.

Services
Contract transient plant-based biologics production
R&D-to-commercial transient expression manufacturing using plant agroinfiltration, upstream growth (hydroponic/vertical farming), downstream purification, and fill/finish in classified clean rooms under cGMP processes.
AI-driven natural compound discovery
In-silico neural network profiling of natural compounds against drug and disease libraries to identify candidates with desired pathway-level and safety signatures for nutraceutical and therapeutic development.
Preclinical screening and organismal assays
C. elegans lifespan and phenotypic screening to evaluate compound effects on ageing-related pathways and prioritize candidates for preclinical development.
Nano-adjuvant formulation development
Design and optimization of dendritic nano-adjuvant emulsions for vaccine antigens, including size-controlled formulations, co-adjuvant incorporation, and targeted functionalization to enhance dendritic cell uptake and lymphatic trafficking.
Microneedle patch development and testing
Design, material formulation (HP-PDRN and sacran), API loading, and prototype development of dissolving microneedle patches for cosmetic, medical device, and vaccine applications.
