Earlier this month, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories announced that its scientific team, including Dr. Malcolm Fraser, Dr. Wang, Dr. Sohn, and other members, have found a process capable of doubling the number of gene transfers performed, greatly increasing productivity of the spider silk and high performance polymer development program.

Kraig Biocraft is focused on developing and commercializing high performance polymers using spider silk gene sequences. The company intends to participate in the $92 billion market for high performance and technical fibers. Last year, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories signed an intellectual property and collaborative research agreement with the University of Notre Dame and has since then been a proud sponsor of scientific research within the university.

CEO Kim K. Thompson commented, “Until recently, we were performing approximately 200 to 400 micro-injections for DNA transfer on a weekly basis. With the huge increase in brain-power that resulted from the
