Syngulon is a synthetic biology startup that develops innovative genetic technologies using bacteriocins (natural antimicrobial peptides) with a wide range of applications as an alternative to antibiotics in pharmaceuticals and industrial biotechnology. Syngulon’s platform technologies are based on bacteriocins, natural antimicrobial peptides. They are bactericidal (killing certain micro-organisms) or bacteriostatic (inhibiting the growth of certain micro-organisms). Bacteriocins are ribosomally-produced, genetically encoded by a wide variety of microorganisms. They were forgotten with the exception of Nisin (GRAS/E234) used as food preservative. The antibiotics currently used are chemical compounds. Syngulon’s original and disruptive genetic technologies using bacteriocins are solving 3 problems: 1. antibiotic-free technologies for production in a fermentation process (Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label since May 2021); key markets are human and animal biopharma, enzymes and industrial biotech 2. prevention of contamination by using bacteriocins that target the bacteria having a negative effect on the production process; key markets are ethanol, cooling towers, feed, animal health 3. human therapeutic applications of bacteriocins as alternative or complement to antibiotics in the context of (1) cancer, (2) microbiome modulation, (3) AntiMicrobial Resistance AMR; market is human pharma Syngulon has the largest collection of bacteriocins (PARAGEN with >500) and has currently 11 families of patents (3 co-owned with universities), with already 17 issued Patents (USA #7, EU, China #3, Brazil #2, Japan #2, India and Korea). Business model Syngulon is licensing its technologies with a mix of issue fee/milestones/royalties: 1. for the antibiotic-free technologies, non-exclusive licensing with service for plasmid conversion 2. for the prevention of contamination, services are provided for the customization of the bacteriocin cocktails before the licensing that can be exclusive for specific bacteriocins and/or field of use 3. for human pharma, the final products/processes will be out-licensed on an exclusive base. Working as a “Startup in the Labs” working closely with academic partners (e.g. UCLouvain, ULB, KU Leuven in Belgium / Imperial College, UCL in London, UK / Universidad Complutense Madrid, Spain).

CONVEYXO
ConvEyXO is an advanced pre-clinical stage Belgian biotech company developing a Therapeutic Portfolio in inflammatory and aging-related diseases (#Biotech), built on our proprietary Technology Platform (#Deeptech) which harnesses small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) derived from immortalized cell lines and enhances their properties in specific indications by loading target-specific miRNAs. This dual-action approach paves the way for a powerful, systemic intervention in inflammatory and degenerative diseases, with initial proof of concept in osteoarthritis and dermatological conditions. We build a Technology Platform to resolve industrialisation bottlenecks and make our therapies triple A : 1) Consistency with a single-donor immortalized UC-MSC line, 2) Scalability with our proprietary bioreactors enabling high yield production from small to industrial scale and 3) Efficient loading of therapeutic molecules (miRNA, proteins…). As a #Biotech, our exosomes possess inherent anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which we amplify by integrating miRNA. This dual-action approach paves the way for a powerful, systemic intervention in inflammatory and degenerative diseases, with initial proof of concept in osteoarthritis an dermatological conditions.
