Xiaomo Biotech Limited

Xiaomo Biotech is an expert on RNA biosynthesis. Our green biomanufacturing technology produces highly potent, specific, and cost-effective siRNAs (to kilograms) for various RNAi applications including gene knockdown in mammalian cells, high-throughput RNAi screen and RNAi pesticide. Xiaomo is committed to developing cutting-edge biotech products based on RNA interference (RNAi), a natural process which uses small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to silence target genes in a precise manner. Xiaomo possesses a revolutionary RNAi platform technology known as the ‘prokaryotic siRNA’ (pro-siRNA) technology. The pro-siRNA technology uses bacteria as siRNA ‘factory’ instead of using chemical synthesis. This unique biomanufacturing method enables cost-effective and environmentally friendly production of highly effective siRNAs on a massive scale. Xiaomo has the capacity to produce siRNAs in gram to kilogram scales using bacterial fermentation. Xiaomo has also developed a customized high-throughput RNAi screen technique to identify potential therapeutic target genes in a disease, that could lead to the development of novel RNAi therapeutics. Currently, Xiaomo is offering various biomanufactured siRNA and RNAi library products to the R&D market. Xiaomo’s R&D efforts focus on developing first-in-class RNA pesticides for important crop pests including fungi, insects and nematodes. The ultimate goal of Xiaomo is to provide effective and affordable RNAi solutions for improving both human health and agricultural health. Xiaomo Biotech (www.xiaomobio.com) was founded at Hong Kong Science Park in 2019. We have recently established R&D and production sites in Shanghai Zhangjiang and Suzhou Kunshan China.
