ABOUT
MyxTek is a biotechnology startup commercializing recombinant hagfish protein technologies originally developed at Utah State University.
We focus on producing these unique structural proteins at scale and exploring their use across a range of applications, including cell culture, in vitro research models, cosmetics, medical research, and advanced materials.
MyxTek works with partners to evaluate, adapt, and co‑develop new products based on our protein platform.
WHAT WE DO
MyxTek produces high-quality recombinant hagfish proteins and collaborates with organizations interested in exploring new biomaterial solutions.
Our work includes:
• supplying recombinant proteins for research and early-stage evaluation
• supporting feasibility studies and material exploration
• partnering on application-specific development across multiple industries
FOCUS AREAS
Cell Culture & ECM
Protein-based substrates and extracellular matrix materials for in vitro systems.
Ophthalmic Research
Biomimetic materials for retinal and ocular research models.
Cosmetics
Protein materials for formulation and structural applications.
Advanced Materials
Exploration of films, fibers, coatings, and other protein-derived materials.
