UKRI Biomanufacturing - 10101506 FF UB Stem Cell Proj - Utilization of Sustainable Growth Factors for the Automated Manufacture of Cellular Therapeutics$821Kvalue2024start2025end

In this project, Future Fields (FF) will use cutting-edge genome editing techniques to engineer Drosophila melanogaster, where the stable stocks will be used to produce high functioning humanized growth factors required for our UK counterpart, Unicorn Biotechnologies (UB). UB will use these high functioning proteins within their novel automated and continuous cell passaging and scale-up system.

High Throughput Rearing and Analysis of Drosophila Melanogaster for Production of Recombinant Proteins$523Kvalue2023start2025end

This project aims to improve and scale up insect farming method and subsequent processing of recombinant biomass protein. It addresses implementing efficient rearing and harvesting techniques, improving data management, and optimizing protein extraction processes. The goal of this project is to advance the company's patented EntoEngine platform for recombinant protein production for use in cellular agriculture (lab-grown meat) and human and animal therapeutics.

Large scale insect rearing process for production of recombinant growth factors$275Kvalue2021start2023end

This project aims to develop a robust scaling methodology for the rearing of transgenic fruit flies for the production of growth factors for the cellular agriculture industry.

The development of custom growth media products for the cellular agriculture industry$36.8Kvalue2020start2021end

This project involves development of proprietary custom growth media solutions applying novel protein expression platform for propagation of cell lines used by individual cellular agriculture companies. This significantly reduces the production costs and expedite the commercialization of cellular agriculture products, such as cultivated meat.

Business Innovation - Product Marketing Optimization$36.6Kvalue2024start2024end

A business innovation project to experiment with new product marketing activities to build product-centric demand for the firm’s sustainable biotech products.

Innovation Assistance Program$30.5Kvalue2020start2020end

The funding provided from the IAP program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.
