Engineered by nature,
customized for you
At Cocoon, we collaborate closely with your scientific team deliver new products that meet your needs through custom recombinant protein development.
Our nature-based platform can express proteins that no other can. You can quickly overcome production challenges and develop novel proteins, putting you strides ahead of the competition.
When conducting research, your team may often encounter difficulties developing a specific protein for your process or projects. The development of a protein can be complex, expensive, and often unsuccessful, as some of these highly complex proteins fail to express in traditional systems. This can often lead to delays and increased costs in your overall project.
At Cocoon, we have a dedicated team of scientists working closely with our clients to design proof of concepts for potential products. Our custom recombinant protein development approach sees our scientists create close relationships with your R&D team, to ensure success.

protein development workflow
Phase 1
Proof of concept
Our proof-of-concept projects offer you the possibility to test your research efforts in a fast and economical manner. Make strategic decisions regarding the viability of a project in four steps:
1. Request
After your enquiry, we will compile and study the protein and the sequence information you’re interested in.
2. Gene synthesis and virus production
Our team will tailor the virus production to your requested sequence.
3. Protein expression
The chrysalises are inoculated with baculovirus and the given sequence in order to express the required protein.
4. Downstream optimization
Collaborating with you, we will determine the best purification strategy and provide data including a preliminary yield, purity and concentration. Within 3 months, we will share a proof-of-concept sample output with you for testing.
Complete timeline: 3 months
Phase 2
Development and scaling up
Following the proof of concept, it takes between 4-6 months to scale up for future industrialization.
We can scale from laboratory scale (1L) to pilot scale (10L) and industrial scale (50L-400L).
Phase 3
Production for commercialization
The product is ready for commercial production and will be manufactured in our brand new plant according to GMP guidelines.
