Genetics and licenses

The Flyblast TechDev team brings a unique blend of expertise in genetic engineering. We’ve demonstrated our ability to modify the DNA of Hermetia illucens to express specific biomolecules: specialty proteins, growth factors, peptides, enzymes, fatty acids, lipids, anti bodies,…

We offer custom BSF strain development in two forms, tailored to your specific needs:

  • We can overexpress or suppress an existing gene in the wild-type DNA to modify traits like protein content, amino acid profile, or fatty acid composition.
  • Alternatively, we can introduce new genes to the BSF DNA, enabling the expression of molecules not present in wildtype BSF.

Flyblast is offering licenses for its transgenic Black Soldier Fly strains to the global insect bioconversion industry.

This will enhance profitability and accelerate the roll-out of more bioconversion facilities, leading to increased organic waste recycling.

We are actively forming partnerships in key markets. If you’re interested in a licensing opportunity, please get in touch.
