General Biotechnologies (2026) produces oral GLP-1s, insulin and peptides at a fraction of current costs.

Instead of using chemistry to manufacture drugs, edible microbes are genetically engineered to synthesise bespoke pharmaceutical molecules - turning ordinary cells into fully programmable biological factories. A 20g powder taken once daily with food, can deliver the oral dose of GLP-1s peptides for absorption via the gastrointestinal tract - eliminating the need for injections.

Notable Achievements

  • Launching the US' first manufacturing of oral GLP-1 in Sacramento (Q3 2026).
  • Secured $27m in LOIs and pre-orders to supply growth factors and insulin.
  • Winner of the Elon Musk's Carbon Removal XPRIZE 2021.
