AlerGenetica
is a new health care biotechnology company dedicated to improving the
quality of life of patients suffering from fungal allergies.
Approximately 20-30% of the population is allergic to one or more
allergens. Allergy treatments have annual sales of $11 billion. Most
allergy treatments used today, such as anti-histamines, only temporarily
treat the symptoms without curing the allergy. Current immunotherapy
treatments takes several years to complete, require frequent injections,
and high patient drop out rate and currently have only a 4%
market penetration. AlerGenetica's propriety peptide immunotherapy
technology will be curative, avoid adverse immune reactions
and have a much shorter treatment time.
Conabio
. The company combines its biochemistry, and physical-chemistry
experience to develop an innovative high molecular weight product based
in a mucine-complex. When combined with "Cristal Liquido", another
formula created by the company, we obtain the registered product
BIOCOMPACT. It has been tested in clay, slime, sand, tepetate
and combinations of them. The test results show that 1 liter in 5
m3 dramatically increases durability, support and resistance.
BIOCOMPACT is liquid, easy to use; no special equipment is required,
environmentally friendly and non toxic. There are other products
derived from the petrochemical industry used to increase support
and resistance of cement and asphalt but none has produced
good results in combination with clay. The management team combines a
MIT PhD with well-known and experienced individuals in the field of
biotechnology and global business.
