Introduction of Plant Molecular Farming
Plant molecular farming is a rapidly growing field in synthetic biology that utilizes plants as bioreactors for the production of recombinant proteins. This innovative approach presents many advantages over traditional mammalian-based expression systems, such as lower costs, reduced risk of contamination, and increased scalability. At CD Biosynsis, we specialize in providing high-quality services for plant molecular farming, leveraging our expertise in synthetic biology and plant biotechnology to offer customized solutions for our clients.
