Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. is a biotech company working to develop and commercialize high performance polymers. The company intends to break into the $92 billion market for high performance fibers by using spider silk genes.

The company intends to insert these genes into silkworms to make them produce fibers with the characteristics of spider silk, which is one of the strongest natural fibers known. In an effort to reach these goals, Kraig Biocraft has licensed the spider gene sequences patented by the University of Wyoming and the genetic developed technology by the University of Notre Dame.

Several weeks ago, Kraig Biocraft announced that during the months of May, June and July the scientific team succeeded in its previously announced attempt to ramp up the number of genetic insertions performed.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on the development of commercially significant polymers and high performance fibers, invests in genetic research and targeted product development to create innovative near-term solutions to meet the practical problems of our world. The company is currently working in cooperation with university scientists and laboratories to create new polymers with potentially broad applications for consumers and industry in the $92 billion marketplace for high-performance polymers.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories develops collaborative relationships with leading universities and funds university scientists and laboratories to create technologies with significant commercial applications through the Kraig Research Initiative. As a part of this program, the company has licensed university intellectual property in the fields of genetics and genetic engineering.

The company sponsors and collaborates on research within various universities’ genetic engineering laboratories. In 2007, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories signed an intellectual property and collaborative research

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., the Michigan-based company using genetic engineering to allow silkworms to produce spider silk, is making use of some of the most advanced insect-related genetic engineering techniques known. Scientists have already produced the first transgenic silkworms, and other scientists have discovered the sequence of genes used by spiders to produce silk. The brilliance of Kraig’s approach is the bringing together of researchers from both of these fields in a collaborative effort to produce commercially viable quantities of spider silk.

Kraig Biocraft has acquired the exclusive rights in this field to the genetic sequences patented by the University of Wyoming, and the genetic engineering technology developed by the University of Notre Dame. The company is now working in conjunction with the leading genetic scientists at these universities to produce a transgenic variety of silkworm capable of producing the elusive spider silk.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. is an emerging biotech company with a strong intellectual property portfolio relating to genetic modification of silkworms to produce spider silk. The company believes this path of research will lead to the development of a new “super fiber” such as Kevlar. The total market for such fibers is believed to be about $90 billion annually.

Kraig Biocraft has reason to be excited about spider silk. The silk produced by spiders is among the strongest fibers produced in nature. Spider silk is also extremely elastic and resilient. Depending upon how measurements are made, spider silk is nearly as strong, or in some cases even stronger, than steel or Kevlar.

Spider silk has several properties that are unmatched even by the most exotic of man-made fibers. Spider silk has the unbeatable capacity to absorb energy and to dissipate this energy in a very

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is focused on the development of high performance technical fibers and polymers using spiders and silkworms. While the production of a “super fiber” is the company’s primary focus at this time, it is also considering the production of other unique proteins using transgenic silkworms. It is thought there is a large viable market for such proteins in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Kraig Biocraft is involved in research related to utilizing spider genes for insertion into silkworms to create a transgenic variety of silkworms. These silkworms will be capable of spinning a new “super fiber” that is similar to natural spider silk, which is one of the strongest and most resilient fibers known. Natural spider silk is five times as strong as steel of the same diameter.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. is a cutting edge biotechnology company that is focused on the development of high performance fibers and polymers by creating transgenic silkworms inserted with spider genes. The goal is that these transgenic silkworms will spin a new “super fiber” similar to natural spider silk.

Spider silk is one of the strongest and most resilient fibers known. It has several properties that are unmatched by synthetic fibers. One property is spider silk’s ability to absorb energy and then dissipate the energy evenly. Another property is spider silk’s extreme resistance to breaking under strain. In this respect, spider silk outperforms all known fibers – natural and man-made. It is these properties that make spider silk especially attractive in applications for use in products such as bulletproof vests, artificial limbs, suspension cables and parachute cords.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. was pleased to announce this morning that during the months of May, June and July the scientific team achieved its previously announced goal to significantly ramp up the number of genetic insertions performed. The team’s initial goal was to double the number of DNA construct insertions performed in May. However, the actual number of insertions performed greatly exceeded that goal and the increase was sustained in June and July as well.

“Over the last ninety days, Dr. Fraser’s team has performed tens of thousands of DNA construct insertions. This increase in laboratory productivity greatly exceeded management’s expectations for the period,” stated CEO Kim K. Thompson. “This dramatic increase in productivity is an indication of the dedication and enthusiasm of the scientists. We know that each insertion has the potential to create a new recombinant fiber with commercial applications.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. is a biotechnology company using state-of-the-art genetic techniques to develop transgenic silkworms capable of producing spider silk. The company believes that because of spider silk’s characteristics, it has the potential to become a ’super-fiber’ with many commercial applications.

Spider silk is among the strongest fibers produced in nature. The silk has several properties that are unmatched by man-made fibers. One property is spider silk’s capacity to absorb energy and to dissipate this energy in a controlled manner. This property makes spider silk especially attractive for applications where energy absorption is a key design factor such as bulletproof vests, suspension cables, parachute cords, artificial ligaments, etc.

Another significant property of spider silk is its extreme resistance to breaking under strain. In this respect, spider silk significantly outperforms virtually all known natural and man-made fibers. It is this property that makes spider silk

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., the Michigan-based research group best known for its innovative research in genetic engineering for the production of spider silk, is representative of what some are saying will be the 21st century’s most important scientific and industrial movement, biotechnology. Reflecting this is the fact that biotechnology, loosely defined as the application of advanced microbiological sciences for industrial or health objectives, is still the darling of venture capitalists.

According to a Reuters article by David Lawsky, “Biotechnology leapt ahead as the biggest recipient of U.S. venture capital money in the second quarter”, indicating that “the venture capital industry put $3.67 billion into 612 separate companies or deals during the second quarter, of which $1.5 billion involved first time funding”, though the article went on to say that funding was still well below levels earlier in the decade.
