Building with Biology

GenoVerde Biosciences, Inc. is invested in the revolution of the Southern US as the agri-bio tech leader in the cannabinoid industry. Since its founding, the company has always believed that building with biology is at the core of making better products. As one of the leaders in 'cell wall gene technologies' and plant tissue culture using the latest tools in bioinformatics, molecular biology and plant genetics, we have created an established method for creating disease-free, true-to-type plantlets at the commercial level. 
Under the leadership of  Dr. Michael Harrington, GenoVerde's Plant Tissue Culture is pioneering the future of cannabinoid tissue culture and young plant production.

GenoVerde's facilities consist of a research lab, located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina on the campus of Shaw University, a Historically Black University, a production greenhouse located at the North Carolina State University and farmland in eastern North Carolina. 

​Leveraging its access to the top minds in the Research Triangle and agricultural hub of the south to advance development of IP related to cannabinoid tissue culture protocols, micropropogation automation, and full scale production testing from plantlet to flower.  ​
