Hone Bio is revolutionising drug delivery using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and exploring their potential across multiple therapeutics, including cell and gene therapies, vaccines and autoimmune diseases. Its NanoPilot platform technology engineers LNPs to target specific cell types with extreme precision to optimise drug effectiveness by minimising off-target effects that tend to accumulate in the liver. This unlocks new possibilities for using LNPs to safely treat diseases in other parts of the body that require maximum target specificity in their drug delivery.
CellVoyant is accelerating the development of novel stem cell-based therapies for chronic diseases. Its technology uses AI-first live cell imaging to predict and optimise stem cell differentiation, enable advanced cell analytics and ultimately unlock the controllable manufacturing of any cell and tissue in the body at scale. Built on foundational research at the University of Bristol, CellVoyant works at the intersection of cell biology, computing, engineering and machine learning to carry out its mission.
Fine Agrochemicals is enhancing crop quality for fruit and flower growers in agricultural, ornamental and landscape markets using its plant growth regulator (PGR) technology. Its PGR products, made using naturally occurring molecules through fermentation and combined with chemically synthesised compounds, help stimulate plant cells to enhance nutrient levels and targeted growth for improved crop outputs.
Zentraxa is precision engineering biomaterials, pushing the boundaries of biopolymer synthesis to develop sustainable, performance-enhancing ingredients for everyday products. Its proprietary technological platform (Zentide) overcomes the biodesign limits of existing, conventional peptide synthesis by designing, producing and testing complex, novel peptides with one universal process. Zentraxa creates bespoke solutions for a range of industries by combining key features from different naturally-occurring proteins, such as stiffness, adhesion or thermal stability.
Herd Climate is a not-for-profit addressing the pressing agricultural challenge of enteric methane emissions produced by farming animals. It works directly with farmers, researchers and young people to bridge the gap between climate-smart scientific advancements and on-the-ground practices through innovative research, accessible science communication and engaging networking events. This equips agricultural communities - who are at the forefront of climate solutions - with actionable insights for collaborative, sustainable farming practices.
Argonaute RNA is developing safe, reliable and targeted methods of temporarily silencing genes in different tissue cells. It does this via the proprietary modification of small interfering RNA (siRNA), using a novel stabilisation method to overcome previous obstacles to developing siRNA drugs for healthcare.
Glaia is developing innovative solutions to optimise agricultural plant performance to help food security and fight climate change. Using disruptive technology, its sustainable agrochemicals unlock the potential of the photosynthetic process, enabling plant cells to more efficiently convert energy to biomass to increase crop yields without increasing inputs. This results in greater profits for growers and reduced greenhouse emissions, delivering more sustainable global food production.
Scarlet Therapeutics is developing a proprietary platform that generates novel red blood cell-based therapeutics (tRBCs) to treat a wide range of diseases. Its technologies are underpinned by learnings from decades of research including the groundbreaking RESTORE clinical study run by NHS Blood and Transplant and the University of Bristol, investigating transfusion of lab-grown blood into patients. By generating tRBCs with high levels of therapeutic proteins from cell lines rather than from donated stem cells, Scarlet Therapeutics aims to address significant efficacy and manufacturing issues faced in the field.
STL is leveraging its deep sector expertise as a venture builder to unlock the true value of innovation. Working alongside a network of investors and service providers, its strategic commercialisation process helps its customers build IP-led businesses that are viable and sustainable. It does this by applying streamlined entrepreneurial capabilities, in-house engineering and end-to-end due diligence for ventures bringing new technologies to life from basic concept to prototype demonstration, enhancing their growth and scalability.
