Revolutionizing Biotech with Fruit Flies | Future Fields

What if fruit flies could manufacture life-saving drugs?

In this episode of Dare to Be Different, we go inside Future Fields, an Edmonton-based biotech startup that’s turning the biotech industry on its head with genetically engineered fruit flies. Co-founders Matt and Jalene are building a scalable, sustainable platform for producing previously “unmakeable” proteins, without using traditional bioreactors.

From their pivot out of the alt-meat space to their revolutionary approach to recombinant protein manufacturing, this episode dives into:

• Why fruit flies are a game-changer for biomanufacturing

• How Future Fields is making drug development faster and cheaper

• What it takes to build a values-driven biotech company from scratch

• The culture of cross-disciplinary innovation behind their success
