Shiru
Shiru is an AI-powered protein discovery company that built ProteinDiscovery.ai, a searchable database distilling hundreds of millions of natural protein sequences into candidates for food and ingredient applications. Founded by Dr. Jasmin Hume in Berkeley in 2019, Shiru licenses discovered proteins to ingredient companies rather than operating its own fermentation manufacturing, with commercial partnerships including Ajinomoto, Griffith Foods, and Ingredion.
