Bacchus Bio innovation Co., Ltd.

Major field: Material and Chemical Products

Miner field: Contract Research

Miner field: Production of Drugs and Quasi Drugs

Integrated biofoundry

Overview

Utilizing biotechnology (genome editing technology, DNA synthesis technology, etc.) and digital technology (IT and AI), we can design microorganisms to produce new substances (Design), create the designed microorganisms (Build), select excellent microorganisms from among the created microorganisms (Test), and analyze the measured data from the constructed microorganisms (Learn). The DBTL flow is rotated at a high speed to enhance functions and add new functions to microorganisms, including the integrated analysis of measured data (Learn). We can efficiently produce various substances such as pharmaceutical raw materials, fuels, plastics, food additives, and cosmetic raw materials.

    In health and medical industry, even if a drug candidate with excellent efficacy and effectiveness is discovered, product development is often suspended because it cannot be mass-produced or commercialized using conventional chemical synthesis and cultivation methods. Our technology enables the efficient production of pharmaceutical raw materials or intermediates of microbial origin, and contributes to the reduction of drug prices of existing products.

    CynosBio, Inc. is the first unlisted domestic company to commercialize regenerative medicine products.
    Under the bridging research led by the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe (FBRI), the company is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and sales of regenerative medicine products introduced from academia (such as university hospitals).
    In 2022, the company achieved the approval and insurance listing of the oral mucosa-derived epithelial cell sheet "TR-9 (Sakuracy®)" using amniotic membrane matrix, a product researched at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. This achievement has provided a new treatment for diseases that were previously difficult to treat.
    Currently, the company is focused on the development of a treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee using the autologous cartilage cell processing product "IK-01." The disease, which is said to affect approximately 25 million people, including potential patients in Japan, is the target of corporate clinical trials.
    The company will continue to focus on technological innovation in regenerative medicine and research in cell culture technologies, striving to offer innovative treatments utilizing the power of regenerative medicine for diseases that are difficult to treat.
