We are leading a new and transformative approach to crop protection, crop health and healthy food by leveraging our proprietary PROTAC® protein degraders, or proteolysis-targeting chimeras. PROTAC protein degraders work by harnessing the plant's own natural protein disposal system to degrade and remove unwanted proteins. We are an early-stage agriculture biotechnology company located in the heart of downtown Durham, North Carolina.
Revolutionizing the food system and improving human health
We are working to unlock the full potential of PROTAC protein degradation by developing our own robust pipeline and by partnering with the world’s leading agricultural and food companies.
