Shiru Partners With GreenLab to Scale Novel Food Proteins Made Using Corn-Based Expression System

AI-powered ingredient discovery company Shiru has partnered with plant biotechnology pioneer GreenLab to commercialize novel food proteins made using GreenLab’s proprietary corn expression system. This collaboration will allow Shiru to access a scalable manufacturing platform that extends beyond microbial and precision fermentation, enabling the production of functional ingredients for CPG companies worldwide. By utilizing GreenLab’s corn system, Shiru can bring sustainable and high-performance proteins to market faster, reducing costs and environmental impact.

Last year, Shiru launched ProteinDiscovery.ai, the world’s first protein marketplace and discovery platform, which catalogs millions of molecules by sequence, metadata, performance, and functional use. This partnership with GreenLab represents a step forward in creating scalable, commercially viable, and sustainable ingredients for various industries. By combining Shiru’s AI-driven ingredient discovery with GreenLab’s corn expression platform, the companies aim to produce high-performance food proteins that can nourish billions without exhausting the planet’s resources.
