Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the development of commercially significant polymers. Our investments in genetic research are focused on product development and innovative near term solutions to meet the practical problems of our world.

We are working in cooperation with university scientists and laboratories to create new polymers with potentially broad applications for consumers and industry.

At Kraig, we are passionate about pioneering the research and development of the next generation of high perfomance fibers based on genetic engineering.

SCIENCE AND TECH

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is applying its proprietary genetic engineering technology to find solutions in the areas of material science. We are developing commercial polymers which we believe will have broad applications in the market place for high strength materials.

Our investments in genetic research are focused on product development and innovative near term solutions to the practical problems of our world.

Life Science and Genetic Technology

Spider Silk is among the strongest fibers produced in nature. Some spider species are capable of producing up to seven different types of silk depending upon the spider's particular need at that time. For example, a spider will use one type of silk to make the structural supports for it web, and another type to wrap its captured pray. Drag line silk, the silk used when a spider is repelling, is of particular commercial interest. This natural polymer is both extremely strong and extremely flexible. These properties of the underlying polymer create the potential for exciting commercial opportunities.

Kraig has obtained the exclusive right, in our field of research, for the spider silk gene sequences which are at the core of our technology. These genetic sequences were first studied and subsequently patented by Dr. Lewis of the University of Wyoming. In early 2006, the company obtained certain exclusive rights from the Univeristy to utilize the sequences in our field of use.

The Challenge: Reproduction of Spider Silk

Hailed as one of nature’s most remarkable materials, Spider Silk is made when spiders spin liquid protein into solid fibers. While the superior properties of spider silks are well known, there is presently no known way to produce the fibers in commercial quantity. The spiders are cannibalistic, and cannot be raised in concentrated colonies. This technological barrier has stymied Spider Silk production. KraigLabs, in cooperation with two leading universities, has obtained proprietary genetic engineering technology to unlock the mystery. KraigLabs is working cooperatively with the universities to reduce to practice its technology for the commercial production of Spider Silk.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Managing the research and development process.

Kriag Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is focused on the development of industrial polymers that have the potential for significant commercial applications. We work through collaborative research and licensing agreements in the field of genetics, with leading university laboratories.

Working in cooperation with university laboratories.

Working in cooperation with university laboratories, Kraig creates efficiency by bringing technologies together from diverse research institutions and combining them. This is done under the direction of the company's management and in cooperation with the leading academic laboratories in our fields of research.

Kraig develops collaborative relationships with leading universities. The Kraig Research Initiative is our program for working with and funding university scientists and laboratories to create technologies with significant commercial applications. As a part of this program, we have licensed university intellectual property in the fields of genetics and genetic engineering.
The company works in cooperation with leading universities to add value to our proprietary technology. The company sponsors and collaborates on research within the universities' genetic engineering laboratories as a means of employing the greatest minds in our discipline.

Through the Kraig Research Initiative we share our technology with university scientists, and work cooperatively with them to achieve what neither we nor they could reasonably hope to achieve alone.
