Protein Genomics designs and manufactures sophisticated, high performance biopolymers at low cost and in large quantities for the wound healing, tissue regeneration, dermal filler and personal care markets.  They currently produce human tropoelastin (Elastatropin®) and human keratin (Keracyte®) for over the counter (OTC) and wound closure applications. These unique biomaterials were prohibitively expensive until we developed low cost manufacturing methods. Other, similar biopolymers are in the development stage.  They design these materials at the genetic (DNA) level, and can produce customized structural proteins that precisely follow human genetic profiles.

Protein Genomics was originally formed in 1993 in Princeton, New Jersey to capitalize on opportunities presented by rapid progress in the fields of genomics, the study of the structure and function of genetic material, and proteomics, the systematic analysis of protein expression in healthy and diseased tissue. These scientific tools are being used to design entirely unique products with enhanced performance in the areas of personal care and wound healing.
