Back of the Yards algae sciences (BYAS) is a small biotechnology research company focused on developing algae-based ingredients for food and agricultural applications. Its work encompasses algae-derived colorants and flavors for foods, protein powders for plant-based meat products, biostimulants to improve yield and quality in vertical farming, and growth media to advance cell-based foods from laboratory research to real-world use. Based in Chicago, Illinois at The Plant, BYAS operates its own laboratories and production facilities to support development and manufacturing, within the broader biotechnology research sector.

BYAS targets customers across the food and agricultural value chain, including food manufacturers seeking natural ingredients, producers of plant-based meats, and operators of vertical farming and cell-based food projects. A recent development noted in 2020 is a partnership with Tidewater Agronomics for soybean experiments in North Carolina, building on early studies of its lead biostimulant BYAS-A601.
