JONESBORO, AR, UNITED STATES, March 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GreenLab, Inc. appoints Dr. Maurice Moloney as President and Chief Scientific Officer, bringing over 30 years of expertise in agricultural biotechnology to lead the company's efforts in developing next-generation plant-based products, including Brazzein and Manganese Peroxidase, for the food and industrial sectors.


The Board of Directors of GreenLab, Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Maurice Moloney as President and Chief Scientific Officer. Dr. Moloney joined the GreenLab Board in July 2024 and was subsequently appointed as GreenLab’s President on November 22, 2024.

Dr. Moloney has over 30 years of experience in agricultural biotechnology, both as a research scientist and corporate leader. His research career has focused on the development of plant biotechnology, including the development of critical agronomic traits such as herbicide tolerance in major crops, metabolic engineering of plant lipid pathways, and the production of high-value proteins for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals in seeds. This work led to the launch of several successful commercial products, including herbicide-tolerant canola grown on over 10 M hectares in Canada and S. America, high gamma-linolenic safflower oil (Sonova 400™), plant-made Chymosin, and Hydresia^® (by Botaneco, Inc.). Dr. Moloney was the founder of SemBioSys Genetics, a Canadian biotechnology company, who pioneered the first plant-made human insulin deemed bioequivalent to Humulin in human clinical trials.

He has led several major research organizations, including Rothamsted Research (UK), CSIRO Food and Ag (Australia), and the Global Institute for Food Security (Canada). Dr. Moloney leads a cohesive team of researchers, field agronomists, process development specialists, product developers, and marketing professionals devoted to bringing GreenLab’s first products to market. Our lead products are Brazzein, an intensely sweet natural protein for food and beverages, and Manganese Peroxidase, an enzyme with multiple applications in food and industrial processing.
