The microalgae cell: vegetal factory for the production of biopharmaceuticals and vector for mucosal delivery.

Bioproduction of recombinant proteins (immunotoxins, fusion proteins, thermostable sub-unit vaccines, ...).

Our mission, our innovation

Produce recombinant proteins using our own eukaryotic microalgae multigenic cell lines.
Produce biotherapeutic proteins for applications in oncology, targeted therapies, infectious diseases:
- recombinant immunotoxins and fusion proteins: Ninkarak^® platform.
- thermo-stable vaccines, with vegetal adjuvants: Algavax^® platform.
- oral, mucosal, topical delivery, avoiding parenteral injection: Algapharm^® platform.
Develop a microalgae galenic pharmacology by our innovation in controlled cellular fragmentation.
Scale-up from the laboratory to industry, assembling established technologies and our novel proprietary vectoring systems.
Manufacture products in commercial quantities at a reduced cost, respecting the quality requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
Extend to other ‘hostile’ molecules, eventually to glycoproteins, to monoclonal antibodies.

IASO BIOPRODUCTION, a strategic vision
