Eco-Friendly Precision: Innovative RNAi Encapsidation for Flea Beetle Control$830Kvalue2025start2028end

The project aims to develop a yeast-derived RNA interference (RNAi) biopesticide using virus-like particle (VLP) technology.

Development of yeast-RNA interference complexes as biocontrol and biotherapeutic agents$739Kvalue2020start2022end

Renaissance BioScience has developed a patent-pending, bioactive molecule production and delivery platform. A specialized yeast system operates as a production and delivery vector for bioactive RNA molecules. This project supports development of a high-throughput R&D platform to discover, validate, and apply the technology in industry sectors, including agriculture and healthcare.

CIIP - UK Multisector - BioPlasticAccel - Accelerating biosynthesis of sustainable bioplastics for packaging, personal care, health and food$494Kvalue2025start2027end

As part of the international consortium project "BioPlasticAccel", the Firm will develop yeast strains and fermentation methods for productino of key industrial chemicals, for use as renewable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Sustainable bioplastics may be used for packaging, personal care, and consumer goods.

Selective breeding of next generation beer and wine yeast strains using a systems biology-informed yeast strain development pipeline.$490Kvalue2017start2019end
