Harnessing the nature of algae to bring the growth factors to your everyday life
Phycin’s revolutionary green algae-based platform manufactures the cleanest and most affordable endotoxin and human pathogen-free growth factors that are suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Our Technology
Algae as a General Platform for the Production of Growth Factors
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a single-celled eukaryotic algae, serves as the primary platform for recombinant protein expression. Phycin has developed synthetic biology enabled technologies that allow the most efficient expression of recombinant growth factors from both chloroplast and nuclear genomes.
Innovative Technology Developed From 10 Years of Research
Phycin has achieved significant milestones by successfully developing proprietary technologies to produce high value recombinant proteins. These technologies enable the cost-effective production of human wildtype and enhanced bFGF (referred to as ebFGF) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, offerring exceptional commercial potential for stem cell and tissue engineering, as demonstrated by extensive in-house and client-generated experimental data.
Phycin Advantages
Phycin's algae-based platform is revolutionizing growth factor production. The growth factors derived from algae are not only highly efficient and cost-effective but also free of pathogen risks and endotoxin contamination, ensuring utmost safety. With an ever-expanding catalogue of growth factors, Phycin is effectively addressing the unmet needs across various industries.
Growth Factors for Eye Care Solution
Eye Care
Discover Phycin's pioneering solution for ocular injuries – a groundbreaking therapy derived from the miraculous world of algae! As a leading innovator in growth factor technology, we present an unparalleled approach to transform the treatment of corneal damage for both military personnel and the general public.
About 10% of all battle-related injuries to
our troops are corneal, resulted from
mechanical or chemical insults
Approximately 3% of all visits to the
emergency department are due to
corneal injury
Corneal injuries can lead to compromised
vision and progressive visual
deterioration
Current treatment is mostly symptomatic
management, as there are no approved
therapies
Stability Enhanced bFGF for Corneal Treatment
Growth Factors for Cell Culture Media
Discover Phycin's Algae-Driven Growth Factors for Superior Cell Culture Media
Growth factors are vital in cell culture as they regulate cellular processes, promote growth, and guide cell behavior. They mimic the natural environment, enabling researchers to study stem cells, tissue repair, and advance biomedical research, including drug development. These indispensable proteins play a crucial role in understanding cellular biology, driving discoveries, and paving the way for groundbreaking innovations in modern science.
Phycin's algae-based growth factors revolutionize the cell culture media market. Derived from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, these safe and efficient proteins optimize cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation. By eliminating pathogen risks and endotoxins, Phycin elevates cell culture media quality, empowering the regenerative medicine industry. Embrace our breakthrough technology for exceptional results in biomedical research and drug development.
Growth Factors for Clean Meat
Food-grade growth factors that drive the evolution of Clean Meat.
Clean Meat: Real meat grown from cells outside of an animal, in the presence of various kinds of growth factors.
Clean meat provides a number of advantages over traditionally farmed meats but the production cost remains challenging: up to 99% of which can be attributable to growth factors.
In addition, it is desired that the meat growth medium is free of any human, animal, or bacterial components for better food safety and consumer acceptance.
Phycin’s platform is by far the safest, most versatile, and most cost-effective solution for those seeking to produce clean meat at scale.
Other sources of growth factors are either potentially hazardous or too expensive to develop.
Many innovative companies are pursuing the commercial production of a wide variety of meats - and Phycin’s growth factors support them all.
Our growth factors are incredibly versatile, able to be tailored to any focused meat product.
