Thorough analysis is conducted for processes like target metabolisms, identification of key enzymes for stimulation or inhibition and use of industrial-scale equipment for large-scale production, along with specialized purification techniques. This serves as a testament to its know-how and meticulous approach to leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of innovative solutions.
In one instance, a pharmaceutical laboratory contacted Greentech to develop 10-baccatin, a precursor of taxanes used against breast and ovarian tumors. This is naturally produced in the leaves of Taxus but varies with the variety of soil and climatic conditions. Greentech identified taxus plants with high 10-baccatin content and enhanced their production by treating the leaves before harvesting, boosting yield and therapeutic value. Greentech is a good manufacturing practice-certified company with over three decades of industry experience, upholding the highest standards in the pharmaceutical industry. Its influence extends far and wide, with a global presence in France, the U.S., Brazil, Africa, India, Germany, Thailand and Taiwan. By staying true to its values, the company has built trust with its suppliers and customers.
Its team of experts includes chemists, microbiologists, biologists, computational science and artificial intelligence specialists. Their diverse skills enable the team to effectively address complex challenges and achieve successful outcomes in its research and development efforts. The team comprises over 240 collaborators with 50 lab specialists, 18 of whom hold doctorates in different disciplines.
Dedication to harnessing the potential of microbiota and producing high-quality products, coupled with its adherence to advancing scientific knowledge and fostering a healthier, more sustainable world, underscores Greentech’s position as a leading force in the biotechnology industry.
