Our industry-redefining proteins can meet growing demand within established markets while unlocking transformational growth through breakthrough applications.
Our platform can scale production up or down with ease, helping meet a wide variety of demands along with delivering just-in-time manufacturing capabilities.
By nature, our proprietary technology and processes drive exponentially sustainable protein production while also unlocking new protein-based greening opportunities.
We start by optimizing and growing proteins using proprietary processes that enable industry-leading accumulation rates.
Our plant-based technology has a ~96% success rate for commercially viable implantation.
We produce proteins directly inside the corn kernel.
By eliminating the need for a fermentation facility we save >$100MM in upfront costs, drive greener production, and reduce overhead.
By producing product in a cultivated crop, we can readily scale up with little additional up-front capital and infrastructure.
Due to the stability of the protein in corn grain, we can store grain and refine as much or as little as needed with limited lead time while reducing process inefficiencies and waste.

Dr. John A. Howard has spent his career developing technology for plant transformation and expression systems. Before joining GreenLab as CSO, he led biotechnology programs in two Fortune 500 companies—Stauffer, Inc. and Pioneer Hi-Bred International. Dr. Howard has founded two biotechnology companies of his own, and has generated 200 publications and patents.
Dr. Elizabeth Hood has worked in plant biology for more than 40 years, generating 80+ publications and patents. Her groundbreaking work developed the agrobacterial strain EHA101, which is now used globally for gene transfer into plants for crop improvement. In her work at Pioneer Hi-Bred International and ProdiGene, she developed the first commercialized product from a plant production system, and led an internationally recognized transgenic plant research group. Later, she served as a cell biology program director at the National Science Foundation.
Karen has founded multiple start-ups and served in senior executive roles at Fortune 500 companies in the technology, media, and healthcare sectors. In the course of her work, she has generated over $300MM in strategic partnerships and alliances with companies such as Pearson Publishing and Compaq. As a start-up founder in Silicon Valley, she successfully raised $50M in private equity from seed financing through Series C.
