Biomilab LLC is a biotechnology company in Lansing, Michigan, focused on improving our understanding of invasive species, developing and testing novel agents for their control or suppression, and providing support to the scientific community with information, reagents, and resources that will help land and water managers everywhere address growing threats to the natural environment.

Our scientists use cutting edge bioscience to create new agents designed to limit or even reverse the expansion of invasive species while leaving other organisms sharing the same environment unaffected. Because lakes, rivers, and reservoirs are the lifeblood of all ecosystems and water-dependent infrastructure world-wide, our primary focus is on invasive species threatening the quality and stability of inland waterways. Invasive mollusks like zebra and quagga mussels, golden clams, and New Zealand mud snails have become entrenched in many non-native ranges, and can do catastrophic damage to waterways great and small. Remediation of the damage done by invasive mussels alone is estimated to cost the U.S as much as $1 billion each year. Without new intervention strategies, the westward expansion of these species across North American will further strain already limited resources in the western half of the continent and will increase expenditures even further.

We owe it to future generations to explore all possible avenues to protect our native ecosystems while there is still time. The sooner we start, the sooner we will find solutions that will ensure a better future for all.
