About:
Tierra Biosciences is developing a protein ordering platform to accelerate the pace of synthetic biology protein engineering. Protein expression and purification is a costly and timely procedure that wastes time and money for many scientists. Using their proprietary protein platform, Tierra can make hundreds of proteins in the time it takes others to make one. Tierra’s platform is cell-free, using components of a living cell but not the cell itself, and employs automation and AI to produce not just desired proteins but multiple layers of rich, actionable data that informs the protein synthesis workflow. Tierra’s technology therefore can revolutionize research that depends on protein screening, protein scaling or the production of difficult or toxic proteins.
