Company description

Zentraxa operates a synthetic biology platform that designs, produces and tests novel peptides, which can then be used to treat human diseases.

Zentraxa's proprietary technological platform, Zentide, combined with extensive technical know-how pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved with synthetic biopolymers. The company specialises in the design, production and testing of complex novel peptides and, as a result of our proprietary peptide biosynthesis platform, has the ability to circumvent previously existing bio-design limits imposed by conventional peptide synthesis, with one universal process.

Precision engineering of bespoke peptide biomaterials

Project impact

Not yet evaluated.

The company has designed and produced a prototype transparent, water-proof bioadhesive for DSTL, our launch customer. This has currently completed testing and will enter a second phase of R&D to scale-up production and develop the correct formulation for use. Zentraxa is also extending these designs for use in a clinical setting, to replace cyanoacrylate-based adhesives that are currently used in surgical procedures. The company has recently been through its first investment round raising £0.5M of investment from angel investors. The company has also moved out of the University of Bristol and has established its own base of operations at the UnitDX incubator in the centre of Bristol.
