Our core technology

BaiyaPharming™ — turns plants into precision protein factories

Our proprietary platform uses Nicotiana benthamiana as a living bioreactor  to produce biologics — with the speed, flexibility, and quality that conventional manufacturing cannot match.

Why plant-based?

Conventional biopharmaceutical manufacturing relies on mammalian cell lines or microbial systems that require months of development, expensive bioreactor infrastructure, and long lead times. When a new pathogen emerges or a partner needs a novel protein fast, conventional systems simply cannot respond quickly enough.

BaiyaPharming™ changes this. By using plants as the production host, we compress development timelines from months to weeks — without sacrificing quality, safety, or regulatory compliance.

Conventional biologics manufacturing

  • Cell line development takes 6–18 months
  • High capital cost for bioreactor infrastructure
  • Limited scalability during emergencies
  • Long lead times from sequence to clinical material
  • Complex upstream development requirements

BaiyaPharming™ platform

  • Gene sequence to purified protein in weeks
  • Significantly lower capital and operating costs
  • Rapid greenhouse scale-up for pandemic response
  • Human-compatible glycosylation profiles
  • Proven at clinical scale — COVID-19 Phase 1 trial

How it works

BaiyaPharming™ production process diagram showing infiltration, plant growth, harvest, extraction and purification stages
1
Infiltration
Agrobacterium carrying the target gene is introduced into N. benthamiana plants
2
Expression
Plants grow under controlled conditions,  expressing the target protein within 4–7 days
3
Harvest
Biomass is harvested at peak protein expression and stored to preserve activity
4
Extraction
Leaves are homogenised and the target protein is extracted  from plant material
5
Purification
Multi-step chromatography and filtration > purified protein are ready!

Speed and cost advantage

The BaiyaPharming™ platform consistently outperforms conventional systems on the metrics that matter most to our partners — time, cost, and flexibility.

Weeks
From gene sequence to purified protein — vs months with conventional systems
20+
Proteins generated per month — our production system enables over 20 unique biologics
Lower
Cost of goods vs mammalian cell culture — making biologics more accessible globally
