After lengthy and careful consideration, uFluidix is pleased to announce the winner of the Prototyping Grant 2019.<\/p>\n

The winner is<\/p>\n

Phytoform Labs<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Congratulations!\u00a0\u2022<\/em><\/p>\n

Phytoform Labs<\/a> is\u00a0an agriculture biotech startup from the UK.\"Phytoform\u00a0Phytoform Labs\u00a0helps the horticulture industry by providing innovative breeding solutions to plant breeders and producers. Access to new biotechnologies that reduce breeding times is very limited for many companies. Phytoform Labs provides a rapid genome editing crop improvement service for crop breeders globally. The company partners with small to medium-sized specialty crop breeding and seed companies to offer genome editing R&D resources that their partners lack and enable them to remain competitive on a global scale.<\/p>\n

This grant covers USD 50,000 of\u00a0design and fabrication services<\/a>\u00a0from uFluidix\u00a0for one year up to a maximum defined with no strings attached for the development of a novel microfluidic platform.<\/p>\n

\u00abPhytoform Labs uses GMO-free genome editing methods which rely on skilled technical labour and are very inefficient. We will use the uFluidix grant to develop a microfluidic platform that will allow efficient and high throughput genome editing in a diverse set of crops. This will allow Phytoform Labs to scale its genome editing service as well as develop new products such as novel traits that will defend plants against emerging diseases and climate change. We also aim to develop alternatives to staple crops like wheat and soybean, to make use of marginal and arid land and diversify the global food system so it is more robust and sustainable.\u00bb<\/em>
