Kraig Biocraft
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) is a cutting edge science company focused on developing spider silk technologies. Kim K. Thompson, Founder and CEO of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, invented a way to genetically engineer domesticated silkworm to produce spider silk in commercial quantities using a cost effective platform.
As a small, publicly traded company, Kraig has succeeded in developing this technology while leveraging a modest research and development budget to create a series of powerful breakthroughs in genetic engineering technology to produce spider silk under the trademark Monster Silk ®.
Kraig has produced more than 20 different varieties of transgenics each producing a different spider silk; this breakthrough technology has been the subject of a peer reviewed National Academy of Sciences article. In 2014, Kraig moved to small commercial scale production. Recently, Kraig produced the first Monster Silk® sample textile and are determining the best weaves and applications for Monster Silk®.
