Planet Biotechnology, Inc. is a United States-based biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing antibody-based therapeutics and preventive products. The firm emphasizes producing antibodies, including receptor-antibody fusion molecules, through cultivation of genetically modified green plants grown in greenhouses, with the goal of addressing infectious diseases, including emerging pathogens and bio-threat agents. It produced the first plant-made antibody to be tested in a clinical trial and seeks scalable, rapid production in non-food, non-feed plants. Based in the United States, Planet Biotechnology operates in the biotechnology research sector as a small company focused on developing therapies and vaccines for infectious diseases and public health threats. Its approach centers on rapidly adapting antibody products for production in greenhouse-grown green plants that are not used for food or feed. A recent development involves a collaboration with iBio to develop a COVID-19 therapeutic, with licensing activity dating back to 2020.
