Gearbox Biosciences

Gearbox Biosciences is a biotechnology startup based in Tartu, Estonia. They’ve developed a proprietary platform known as Pop-Out-Plasmid technology, which enables antibiotic-free production of recombinant proteins in E. coli. This method also eliminates the need for chemical inducers like IPTG and decouples bacterial growth from production stages—offering greater stability and sustainability in bioproduction systems.
