IsomAb is developing isoform specific antibodies to treat patients with diseases that currently have limited or no treatment options. Its bioinformatics and knowledge-based platform approach has identified the therapeutic antibody ISM-001 as a development candidate for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). By progressing this through clinical trials, it has the potential to significantly improve the wellbeing of those affected by PAD which causes risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.
Biofuel Evolution is driving the process industries’ transition towards net-zero to fuel a circular bio-economy. Its flagship product BEBlock harnesses the power of data analytics, microbial consortia and bio-electrochemical systems to transform food and organic waste into sustainable bio-based products. By developing a decentralised or localised system, its unique solution addresses critical environmental challenges by eliminating the need for energy-intensive biomass and carbon-intensive feedstock logistics.
Greenleaf is developing next-generation biopesticides to revolutionise crop health. By harnessing the power of viruses, synthetic biology and machine learning, it’s accelerating the creation of novel crop protectants that are both eco-friendly and highly effective to improve global crop and food security.
