Developing bioengineered barley grains for the future of novel protein production and cellular agriculture

ORF has  developed a unique production technology that uses bioengineered barley  grains as a vehicle for large-scale production of recombinant proteins for  cellular agriculture. By nature the barley seed has a powerful protein  machinery that also provides a long-term, safe storage for bioactive  proteins. Therefore, recombinant proteins can be scaled up with tremendous  speed and economy in bioengineered barley grains, and without CAPEX-demanding  operations associated with conventional bioreactors. ORF aims at offering up  to 1000x cost reduction of animal growth factors, making the cell-cultured  meat a more viable option in near future.
