STAGE 01 — GROW
It starts in a leaf.
We grow ordinary tobacco-relative plants in vertical light farms. Their chloroplasts — the same engines that turn sunlight into sugar — carry an extra instruction we wrote into their DNA: build our protein.
We coax living chloroplasts into producing the proteins modern therapies are built from — at field scale, without a single steel bioreactor or animal input.
STAGE 01 — GROW
We grow ordinary tobacco-relative plants in vertical light farms. Their chloroplasts — the same engines that turn sunlight into sugar — carry an extra instruction we wrote into their DNA: build our protein.
STAGE 02 — EXPRESS
As the plant photosynthesises, each chloroplast transcribes that instruction and folds the target protein in place. One unwound strand becomes a working template — millions of copies per leaf, powered entirely by light.
STAGE 03 — EXTRACT
Leaves are pressed and the protein is released into a water-based buffer — no harsh solvents. A single chromatography pass separates our molecule from plant matter at better than 99% purity.
STAGE 04 — DELIVER
The purified protein is formulated into stable, shelf-ready doses — packed into capsule and vial formats that survive the supply chain without a cold-storage tail.

Two ways in
Whether you write term sheets or pipette buffers, there's a seat in the light farm.
We're raising a Series B to bring HB-101 through Phase 2 and stand up our first commercial light farm. Request the data room.
