Instead of building another bioreactor facility, you can
               express a therapeutic protein in:

                   •  A hydroponic greenhouse outside a rural hospital.
                   •  A vertical farm in a low-income urban
                       neighborhood.
                   •  A modular container unit parked at the edge of a
                       refugee camp.


               Here, the “bioreactor” isn’t a $20 million steel tank.
               It’s a lettuce leaf.
               Or a duckweed pond.
               Or a rice paddock.

               Once a gene construct is engineered and inserted into the
               plant’s chloroplast DNA, production can begin. With each
               plant cycle, proteins accumulate—inside leaves, stalks, or
               vacuoles—awaiting harvest and stabilization.


               This isn’t medicine made in distant labs.
               It’s therapeutic agriculture—grown with sunlight, soil,
               and sensors.

               This isn’t a reversion to pastoral medicine. It’s the fusion of
               two cutting-edge fields:

                   •  Synthetic biology, where we program plants to
                       express complex human proteins.
                   •  Artificial intelligence, which orchestrates every
                       variable in the production cycle.
