Description
This project aims to improve and scale up insect farming method and subsequent processing of recombinant biomass protein. It addresses implementing efficient rearing and harvesting techniques, improving data management, and optimizing protein extraction processes. The goal of this project is to advance the company's patented EntoEngine platform for recombinant protein production for use in cellular agriculture (lab-grown meat) and human and animal therapeutics.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à améliorer et à étendre la méthode d’élevage des insectes et le traitement ultérieur des protéines recombinantes de la biomasse. Il porte sur la mise en œuvre de techniques d’élevage et de récolte efficaces, l’amélioration de la gestion des données et l’optimisation des processus d’extraction des protéines. L’objectif de ce projet est de faire progresser la plateforme brevetée EntoEngine de l’entreprise pour la production de protéines recombinantes destinées à l’agriculture cellulaire (viande cultivée en laboratoire) et à la thérapeutique humaine et animale.
