About Filament Biosciences
Our Mission
To be the premier algae producer in the world with a focus on producing algal innovations that improve quality of life and preserve the planet for future generations. We use algae to produce natural, safe, healthful, and affordable products for food, feed, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Our Algae
Through careful research and optimization we have selected a portfolio of algae that are production powerhouses. Leveraging their natural attributes, our gene expression experience, and bioinformatic design enables us to produce natural healthy products and versatile technology that our customers are looking for.
Revolutionizing Biotechnology
Algal Design
Our bio-engineering expertise enables us to engineer algae to produce novel bio-materials, like colorants, healthy food additives and beneficial proteins.
Bioinformatics
We analyze bioinformatic data using our in house bioinformatics expertise and state of the art software tools to analyze and interpret complex biological data, to design and select optimal algal traits and provide insights into new product opportunities and unmet customer needs.
Genetic Engineering
Our Cripsr/CAS9 gene editing and other innovative technology allows us to precisely and efficiently modify genomic sequences, opening up a new world of possibilities for protein production for food, feed and pharmaceutical (i.e. therapeutic and diagnostic) applications.
Innovative Process Solutions
State of the Art Algal Cultivation
Our process uses CO2, nitrogen and phosphorus derived from anaerobic digestion and /or fermentation, organic carbon from multiple sources and the power of the sun to grow algae in cost effective, easily controlled, and sustainable ways.
Cutting Edge Product Extraction and Purification Processes
Our innovative processing capabilties include centrifugation, microfiltration, ion exchange chromatography, and other proprietary technologies currently in the non-provisional patent review process. These sustainable and environmentally friendly extraction and purification techniques will transform and streamline pharmaceutical and food additive production methods.
Innovative Algal Solutions: Food Functional Alternatives
Bio-manufacturing
Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team enable us to produce high-quality naturally derived food functional coproducts, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals, helping to bring innovative solutions to market faster.
Industrial Scale Biotechnology
We use biotechnology to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly industrial processes. Our team of experts works on developing new algal based innovative ways to produce chemical substitutes, fuels, and other products.
Co-Product Development
Innovative methods to valorize our coproducts helps us meet our goal of a safe, green, healthy, zero waste production platform and transforms waste streams into new revenue streams. We offer a portfolio of value added food components including protein hydrolysates, natural food colorants, EPA fatty acids, and functional proteins, and we have the expertise to help algae work for you.
