AsimicA was launched in November 2018 as a spin-off from the University research project. In 2020 the company was incorporated, raised a Venture Capital investment, and Federal Grants to support the development.
We focus on developing novel technologies for improved production in Microbial Biosynthetic Factories.
We are solving the problem of low productivity of Microbial Biofactories. Conventional production strategies are facing natural limitations, caused by exhaustion of producing microbes, and genetic drift.
Our method helps to repopulate the biofactory with young and productive microbes during the fermentation batch. We are doing it using our innovation of Microbial Stem Cells. That helps to increase the productivity of biofactories several-fold. Our approach can be applied to any fermentation process – from making drugs to the production of biofuels, new materials, food ingredients, and so on.
To provide stem-cell-like properties to microbes, we changed the way how they grow. Normally microbes divide into two identical twins. Microbial Stem Cells divide asymmetrically, self-renewing themselves, and generating new young and productive cells. Very much like human stem cells do.
AsimicA is the first company that designed principles of Microbial Stem Cell Technology (MiST).
What we do
AsimicA is a B2B strain engineering company. Our partners are bigger biotech fermentation companies, which are producing industrial quantities of products through fermentation.
In many cases the economic efficiency of their production lines is low. Mainly that is because bioreactors are shut down every few days, causing 20-40% downtime lost.
Our technology helps to increase the productivity of bioreactors and the lifetime of each batch. That translates to a multifold increase in the amount harvested and significantly decreased production costs for our partners/customers.
The service of AsimicA is increasing the potential bio-manufacturing and is bringing the ‘Green’ revolution in production closer.
Humanity needs new and sustainable economics to face global challenges in the world.
We are happy to be a part of this process!
