Frequently asked questions
- What is Micropep's core technology platform?
- Micropep's Krisalix platform is an AI-powered discovery system that combines generative AI, predictive modeling, and high-quality experimental data across biology, chemistry, and agronomy to accelerate the discovery and development of bioactive micropeptides. The platform dramatically reduces R&D timelines and costs compared to traditional peptide development approaches.
- What are micropeptides and how do they work?
- Micropeptides (miPEPs) are short chains of naturally occurring amino acids that regulate cellular physiology without modifying plant DNA. Micropep's technology fine-tunes plants' natural capabilities by controlling gene silencing effects, allowing crops to overcome disease and stress more effectively while maintaining environmental safety.
- What products has Micropep developed and what is their regulatory status?
- Micropep's lead product MPD-01 is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide (AMP) biofungicide targeting Asian soybean rust, phytophthora infections in potatoes, and mildews in grapes. MPD-01 is currently undergoing field trials across Europe, the US, and Latin America and is being prepared for regulatory submission. The company's pipeline includes additional candidates for bioherbicide and biofungicide applications.
- In which geographies is Micropep conducting development and trials?
- Micropep is conducting field trials for MPD-01 across Europe, the US, and Latin America. The company operates as a global leader in micropeptide technology with an international development footprint.
- What manufacturing capabilities does Micropep have?
- Micropep has achieved key biomanufacturing milestones including batch regulatory production at 15m³ scale and scale-up capabilities at 75m³, demonstrating readiness for commercial production of micropeptide-based products.
