AuX Labs
AuX Labs engineers yeast to express recombinant proteins. AuX Labs has completed development on their first strain, producing recombinant casein that can be used as an ingredient for the dairy industry to make cheese. The company has also built a new 1,000L pilot facility that's delivering at a cost that's approaching close to price-parity for commercial bovine casein at $20/kg.
