ABOUT MAYA LAB

Maya Lab is a biotech-enabled product development company connected to Maya Milk's technical work in precision fermentation. We help product teams define, test, and coordinate development paths for better ingredients, cleaner sourcing, stronger claims, and proprietary product lines.

Team

Operators behind the development work.

Maya Lab is built around Maya Milk's precision-fermentation base and a focused group of product, software, food, and commercialization collaborators. The team is practical by design: define the product goal, map the biological route, and coordinate the work needed to move from idea to decision.

What We Do

We translate a commercial product goal into a practical development program: product target, biological route, technical roadmap, testing logic, partner strategy, risks, milestones, budget, and execution plan.

Who We Help

Maya Lab is built for cosmetics, skincare, food, ingredients, wellness, pet nutrition, feed, aquaculture, materials, and home-care companies that want biotech-enabled products but do not want to build or manage a full biotech team.

How Projects Start

A first project usually defines:

  • the product or ingredient target
  • possible biological production routes
  • the recommended technical path
  • technical risks and decision points
  • the lab, vendor, or partner strategy
  • the next development milestones and execution budget

Technical Background

The work is grounded in microbial strain engineering, fermentation, analytical planning, bioprocess development, and partner-led execution. Maya Milk's public work in animal-free dairy proteins and fats is one example of that background.

Maya Milk Relationship

Maya Lab operates as a separate company connected to Maya Milk's technical team and precision-fermentation base. Client scopes, confidentiality, and project responsibilities are defined before each engagement.

How We Work

Maya Lab works as a development partner. Depending on the project, we define the route and coordinate the appropriate labs, CROs, vendors, formulation partners, or specialist technical partners.

Technical Support Areas

Typical support can include:

  • biological route and feasibility mapping
  • fermentation or microbial production strategy
  • testing and analytical method requirements
  • partner, lab, CRO, and vendor selection
  • product development program design
