GENEXPRESS is a cleantech company that develops on-site pathogen screening kits for the agriculture and agri-food industries, along with a novel class of pathogen-specific biopesticides to promote sustainable plant health.
GENEXPRESS is a research-based cleantech company that specializes in the development of on-site agriculture and agri-food pathogen screening kits for routine diagnosis. The company utilizes a state-of-the-art molecular biology laboratory to create end-user-friendly, cost-effective test kits that allow for rapid detection of plant health issues in under 45 minutes with minimal equipment. In addition to diagnostic tools, GENEXPRESS engineers a novel class of pathogen-specific biopesticides. These biological molecules are designed by elucidating plant-microbe-environment interactions at the gene-for-gene level to effectively boost a plant's immune system and target specific invaders at the molecular level.
These solutions are designed to support the agro-food industry by helping clients create integrated pest management (IPM) programs, prevent disease spread, mitigate crop loss, and reduce the reliance on toxic chemical pesticides. By enabling accurate, real-time pathogen detection and environmentally friendly pest control, the company aims to enhance overall product quality and promote sustainable agricultural practices worldwide. GENEXPRESS focuses on understanding the ongoing requirements of the agro-food sector to deliver practical technologies that allow producers to take immediate, informed action against horticultural crop pathogens.
