Axxam S.p.AThat deserves a closer look: The recently announced partnership between Axxam S.p.A., a leading provider of integrated early discovery services, and Molecular Health GmbH, a pioneer in AI-powered data solutions for pharmaceutical R&D, is more than a standard collaboration. It exemplifies the convergence of consolidated in-vitro biology-led drug discovery with modern, data-intelligent drug development methodologies. As an example for breaking the silos of clinical and preclinical target validation.
ASEBIOSpain’s biotech sector drives innovation, economic growth, and scientific excellence. With strong R&D investment, global research impact, and a leading role in gender equality, it’s a key player in health, sustainability, and strategic autonomy. BIOSPAIN 2025 in Barcelona will showcase its potential and connect global biotech leaders.
Validogen GmbHPichia pastoris (syn. Komagataella phaffii), a methylotrophic yeast, is a proven platform for pharmaceutical protein production. However, its potential reaches far beyond. As a reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient platform for recombinant protein expression, Pichia is equally suited for industrial enzymes, food & feed, diagnostics, and biomaterials.
