Research, Design, and Engineering of Therapeutic Platform

Most of the protein therapeutics (e.g. antibodies, hormones) are derived from recombinant DNA technology. These proteins are mainly produced using traditional production platforms (e.g. CHO cells). Plant-based biomanufacturing of therapeutics is a relatively new platform designed to address a growing global demand. This emerging platform offers advantages of linear scalability, reduced upstream complexity, reduced time to market, and potentially lower capital and operating costs.

Improved Oral Rehydration Formulation

Oral rehydration therapy saves millions of children each year who suffer from infectious diarrheal disease. By combining the proven benefits of oral rehydration solution (ORS) with immuno-stimulating nutrition, Global HealthShare hopes to develop the next-generation of nutritional therapies tailor-made for infants and children in different parts of the developing world. This new ORS formulation has the potential to reduce the severity, and increase the survivability, of infectious diarrhea.
