Prodigene

ProdiGene™ is a biopharmaceutical and industrial protein company that develops and commercializes novel recombinant proteins from genetically enhanced plants. ProdiGene is the first and only company to have commercialized recombinant products from transgenic plants for the biopharmaceutical and industrial markets. Using a broad proprietary technology platform, ProdiGene has developed a unique production and delivery system, which is now bringing novel products to the marketplace.



ProdiGene's recombinant proteins from plants, in many cases, require less purification than those from fermentation or animal sources. Proteins from plants are more cost efficient and easier to handle and transport than those produced from traditional production methods, thus offering significant product advantages to the pharmaceutical and industrial enzyme industries.



ProdiGene's technology provides the delivery system for future applications, including the production of high-volume, high-value industrial enzymes, as well as developing vaccines for both the human and animal pharmaceutical industries. ProdiGene is developing cost-effective vaccines that can be fed to livestock rather than injected. The company is also investigating the next breakthrough for this technology - the production of edible human vaccines, such as a vaccine for hepatitis B, in genetically enhanced plants.
