About BIOspire

BIOspire.ai enables, for the first time, complete 3D imaging of living cell cultures using a patent-pending intelligent imaging system based on lens-free holotomographic microscopy technology and AI software. Analysis of living cells, such as determining the DNA fragmentation index of sperm, for example, has not been possible until now. In doing so, BIOspire.ai achieves what would normally be a classic trade-off: better quality at lower costs. What alone could be a game changer in the medical market is further amplified by the AI and software component. The complementary algorithm, which is continuously trained based on 3D cell data, creates the foundation for novel discoveries in in vitro cell cultures—a possibility that is currently not available with conventional imaging methods. Moreover, the solution is sustainable, as cell analysis can be performed in a more environmentally friendly manner by eliminating the need for lenses and solvents.

EpiCure

EpiCure is a research project of Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and is scheduled to be incorporated as an independent biotech company in 2026/2027. The focus is on epigenetic therapies, a mechanism of action that still holds considerable untapped potential in oncology. The lead compound is Carbacitabin (CAB), a drug molecule rationally designed on the basis of epigenetic expertise for blood cancer diseases, primarily positioned for high-risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). CAB was specifically developed to address the weaknesses of clinically used standard therapeutics, and achieves approximately 100-fold reduced toxicity in patient-derived tumor models while simultaneously demonstrating superior efficacy. The regulatory foundation is in place: The BfArM has confirmed the preclinical development program in Scientific Advice. The first clinical trial is planned for 2027/28.

ProviGenAI

ProviGenAI develops a software platform for automated experiments and data-driven process optimization. Many laboratories and biotechnology development environments already have extensive automation in place, yet the planning, evaluation, and adaptation of experiments continues to be done manually. Our platform combines automated laboratory workflows with AI-based optimization. It translates experimental protocols into executable workflows, orchestrates experiments on existing automation systems, and analyzes the resulting data to continuously improve parameters. This creates closed learning loops between experiment, analysis, and decision-making. Teams can optimize biotechnological processes—such as fermentation, screening, or bioprocess development—significantly faster and more efficiently.
