Micropep

Micropep is a private French-American agricultural biotechnology company developing micropeptide-based products for sustainable crop protection and crop stimulation. Its core approach uses short natural peptides to regulate plant genes and proteins without modifying plant DNA, positioning the company as a developer of biological alternatives to conventional agrochemicals. Micropep’s proprietary KRISALIX discovery platform combines computational biology, artificial intelligence, bioproduction, and formulation technologies to identify, optimize, and manufacture peptide candidates at agricultural cost points. The company is advancing a pipeline spanning weed control, disease control, germination, flowering, and growth applications, and has stated that it is preparing for the commercial launch of its first micropeptide fungicide. Micropep operates from France with additional offices in the United States and collaborates with industry partners to bring peptide-based crop protection products to market.
