Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., the biotech company known for its pioneering work in genetic engineering for the production of spider silk and other polymers, is constantly breaking new ground in the field of genetics. As such, it is not surprising that they have assembled a remarkable team of scientific advisors to play a major role in everything they do.

• Malcolm J. Fraser, Jr., Ph.D, specializes in molecular genetics, and currently heads the Fraser Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. During his post-doctoral work at Texas A&M, Dr. Fraser was part of the team which developed the genetic expression system for producing organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, on an industrial scale. He is the co-inventor of the “piggyBac” gene splicing technology, and the named inventor for various patents involving its improvement.

He was recently selected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement
