The University of Osaka–developed “next-generation microfluidic PCR technology” is leveraged to deliver a rapid and easy-to-use gut microbiome testing service, and to operate a community platform business that connects people with digestive concerns with companies offering products to support gut health. We also provide contract testing services for gut microbiome analysis.
A startup has developed a painless, simple test using tears to detect cancer early and monitor for recurrence. Using cutting-edge technology originating from Kobe University, it enables highly sensitive detection of extracellular vesicles, allowing testing in everyday settings like homes or pharmacies.
A startup advancing drug discovery through proprietary platform technology that selectively delivers drugs to immune cells, both through in-house development and collaborative partnerships. It aims to create novel therapies for intractable diseases by controlling immune responses.
Cells in living organisms function in an orderly manner by cooperating with surrounding cells while interacting with extracellular proteins. However, in cell culture systems, extracellular proteins are largely absent, making it difficult for cells to function properly and often causing them to exhibit physiological activities that differ from those observed in vivo. Our company conducts research on extracellular matrix proteins located outside the cell, and by applying the findings from this research to cell culture technologies, we aim to contribute to the advancement of regenerative medicine and the realization of alternatives to animal experimentation.
bacterico is a biotechnology startup developing personalized healthcare solutions based on an individual’s own gut microbiome. We isolate, select, and cultivate Bifidobacterium strains from stool samples and enhance them using proprietary culture methods to create personalized probiotic supplements optimized for each person’s gut environment. We also provide evidence-based programs tailored to key life moments, including Mama Flora, which supports maternal and infant health through prenatal gut microbiome care, and Preflora, a personalized nutrition and gut-health program designed specifically for individuals who are actively trying to conceive. Through science-driven, individualized interventions, bacterico aims to bring safe and effective microbiome-based solutions to everyday health.
