One of the most pressing global challenges of our time is food security. NAPIGEN is addressing the unmet needs of future food demands through our proprietary mitochondrial gene editing technology. We are creating hybrid wheat, rice, and other crop plants that boost yields to unprecedented levels and are favorable to farmers and consumers.

The increasing cost of nitrogen fertilizers in recent years has been challenging farming productivity. The use of nitrogen fertilizers is also becoming a major problem for our environment by polluting rivers and oceans as well as by producing greenhouse gases; carbon dioxide during their production and nitrous oxide after their application on the field. We are making a long-term commitment to use our technology to develop crop plants that can produce high grain yields under limited application or even in the absence of nitrogen fertilizers.
Mitochondria are sites of many key metabolic pathways in industrial microbes. They are also the sites of energy production and reservoirs for chemical-reducing powers. Utilizing their superb environment for biosynthesis, NAPIGEN is turning mitochondria into subcellular biofactories to produce various high-value compounds efficiently. Our product targets include complex nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compounds.
