Crowpierce is an innovative biotechnology group based on a significant patent portfolio. The company specializes in creating solutions for agricultural and biomedical challenges. Rr is a platform technology based on the extensive capabilities of naturally occurring soil microbe, Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Currently Rr has two component technologies:
FarmRipe™ – Promotes fresher produce by extending the period of ripening.
Rhodase™ – A novel L-asparaginase treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Potential Advantages of
FarmRipe™ Technology
- Eliminate large amounts of food waste
- Reduce chill injury in produce
- Delay ripening of fresh produce
- Double current transportation range of fresh produce without compromising quality
- Double produce shelf life
- Naturally occurring (not GMO)
- Easily applied post-harvest
Rhodase™ Technology
could become a first-line drug of choice to treat Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- High levels of asparaginase activity
- Endotoxin-free
- Ensures no reactivity with pre-formed, anti-E coli/Erwinia asparaginase antibodies
- Addresses problem of asparaginase resistance
- Better stability
- Longer half-life
ECO-FRIENDLY

Founders
Dr. George Pierce and Dr. Sid Crow, both retired Professors of Applied Environmental Micro, met over 40 years ago. They soon realized a common drive to find natural answers to applied problems.
Years later, at the Georgia State University Biology department, their discussions of metabolism revealed the potential for the R. rhodochrous catalyst to alter plant development cycles. With several other like-minded university individuals, Dr. Crow and Dr. Pierce were instrumental in developing the intellectual property which the university has since released to Crowpierce Technologies.
