The mission of ALGENEX is the development of new biotechnological tools more versatile and powerful to produce high add-value molecules to both human and animal health at affordable costs. Through our two platforms, Top-Bac® and IBES®, we have reached unprecedented quality and production yields within BEVS-based expression. ALGENEX (Alternative Gen Expression S.L.) is a company founded in 2005 fro
m the research in the field of protein expression generated by the scientific cofounders and the financial support of private investors. The mission of Algenex is the development of new biotechnological tools more versatile and powerful to produce high add-value molecules to both human and animal health at affordable costs. Algenex has developed two own disruptive platforms within baculovirus expression system (BEVS) to achieve these goals:
Top-Bac®: A proprietary expression cassette that improves the quality of protein produced and increases its production 200-800% over conventional BEVS. This platform shows very interesting profile to innovative therapeutics, vaccines generation, in particular VLPs-based vaccines, structural biology studies and high throughput screening. IBES®: Based on the use of insect larvae as disposable, living bioreactors that, when combined with Top-Bac, lead to unprecedented yields of production for a baculovirus-based expression system. This technology allows us for:
- Rapid and linear scaling-up process
- Increasing success with difficult-to-express proteins
- Dramatically reducing capital investment with respect to conventional bioreactor-based technologies
This product has been positioned to efficiently supply high value protein in non-GMP conditions to customers in the fields of diagnostics, biosensors, biological reagents, etc. Algenex business model is based in the close understanding of the customer needs to provide ready solutions from our technology. Algenex offers to our customer:
- Non-exclusive license of technology. Algenex offers different ways for getting started, including Feasibility studies
- BEVS optimization and product development, professional advice and follow up
- Supply of raw material from insects
