Proteinea is an insect-based biotechnology startup based in Egypt/US. We are replacing the single-cell technologies with an insect-based production platform as a next-gen bio-manufacturing platform. We are turning the mass-reared insect larvae into mini-biofactories to produce recombinant proteins on a scale at a lower cost, reducing the capital and operational costs of conventional bioreactors.
