Enabling Access to Sustainable, High Quality Nutrition
The Triplebar™ Platform solves problems of food scarcity by increasing access to high quality nutrition sustainably
Food Products to solve the world's sustainability problems
Feeding a growing world in the midst of climate change and loss of biodiversity is the very definition of a complex problem. Unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of evolutionary time to solve it. Every year, we lose 2.1 million hectares to deforestation for cattle raising – and it’s only getting worse. Baby formula shortages, tightening supply chains, drought, and global instability will only intensify the growing nutritional scarcity.
We simply need a new way to produce food. At Triplebar, we’re working with biology-accelerating evolution to allow us to use biological systems, like microbes and cell lines, to fight scarcity and bring abundance to our food system. If we can realize the potential of technologies like cultivated meat and seafood, we have a chance to democratize access to sustainable, high quality nutrition.
Bioactive and Functional Proteins
through Precision Fermentation
The Problem
Producing proteins critical to our nutrition and health that are also accessible to all is a top priority. Precision fermentation can produce such proteins. The proteins precision fermentation produces are not plant-based simulations, but the real, actual protein that we already eat. In order to make this a scalable reality, we’ll need microbes to make protein at low cost.
This will allow us to:
- Address gaps in infant nutrition
- Support healthier aging
- Improved nutritional profiles for all ages
- Price and supply improvement
The Triplebar Solution:
At Triplebar, we evolve microbes to make protein at viable cost and commercial scale. Triplebar focuses on a critical part of the value chain that requires innovation. Using our Hyper-Throughput™ System we oversample every position in a microbial genome in a day to find optimized, scalable production hosts.
Cultivated Meat
The Problem
Meat is the ultimate bioavailable dense nutrition for humans, yet land and sea animal agriculture contributes to a significant amount of global greenhouse (GHG) emissions. It’s not sustainable for humans or the environment. We need a more sustainable way to produce meat for a growing global population, using exponentially less land and water. Cultivated meat offers this promise. But in order to make it a reality, we need animal cells that grow quickly, at unprecedented scale, with cost effective inputs.
This will allow us to:
- Create an abundance of animal proteins
- Limit environmental impact
- Sustainable food supply without harming animals
The Triplebar Solution:
At Triplebar, we evolve and optimize animal cells to achieve cost effective commercialized targets. Cultivated meat and seafood offers a sustainable, no-kill alternative to the natural proteins humans need to thrive. We develop cell lines that grow in suspension at high growth rates in cost effective media and process conditions. Our proprietary Hyper-Throughput™ Screening platform enables us to measure the effects of billions of mutations a day to evolve these traits in many species and tissue types.
