Stevia(VBIO) & Zynerba(ZYNE) may be ahead of the game here...

Cannabinoid biosynthesis is an emerging technology that holds the promise of producing THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids at a fraction of the cost of traditional agriculture practices. With key players in this technology emerging and large cannabis companies investing in the science, it is a question of when, not if, this technology will dramatically change the cannabis supply chain. Ben Chiarelli, the Founder and CEO of cellular agriculture company Cellibre, spoke with New Cannabis Ventures about how this technology works, what it will take to commercialize it, and how it will help build global cannabis brands.





Chiarelli, a mechanical engineer turned investment banker, spent a decade on Wall Street, mainly in the life sciences sector. He left Wall Street to join a client in California, and there he met the co-founders of Synthetic Genomics: Dr. Craig Venter, who was involved in sequencing the first human genome, and Nobel Prize winner Dr. Hamilton Smith. Chiarelli worked as a part of Dr. Venter’s executive team, running strategy and corporate development. He went on to found the Cellibre with the help of the scientific team from Synthetic Genomics.





Understanding How Biosynthesis Works





Biosynthesis is a natural process done by every cell on the planet. Cells have machines that are instructed by DNA to use nutrients to make chemicals, Chiarelli explains. For instance, cells in the cannabis plant use nutrients from the soil, water, and sunlight to create more than 400 different chemicals. We know have the ability to engineer cells to turn them into scalable manufacturing technologies. Scientists can now swap out the natural machines that are in, for instance, a cell like yeast and put in new machines, rewriting their DNA code enabling those cells to produce pure, natural cannabis extracts, removing the need for agriculture from the supply chain.
