Orikine Bio, a biotech company developing a novel proprietary platform for cytokine-based therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, announces the successful closing of a €5.5m seed financing that will support the company to advance candidates through pre-clinical development. BHH member Asabys Partners, Barcelona-based VC firm focused on healthcare innovation investing from its fund Sabadell Asabys II, joins AdBio Partners, French life sciences venture capital firm and initial investor. Orikine Bio is a spin-off from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona and was co-founded by Dr. Luis Serrano, Dr. Ariadna Montero, Dr. Javier Delgado, Dr. Alejo Chorny and AdBio Partners in 2022. The company’s unique synthetic biology platform delivers optimized and novel engineered cytokines called Foldikines©. Cytokines are proteins that are produced by the immune system and act as soluble messengers that control the entire range of immune responses, including their initiation, type, potency, and duration. Thus, dysregulated cytokine signaling triggers a wide variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, allergies, fibrosis, and cancer. Orikine Bio's Foldikines© have unique biological activities that are not available for natural cytokines, making them highly attractive as new drugs for therapeutic interventions. Currently, the company is validating the first Foldikine© candidates, which will advance to the pre-clinical stage with this new funding. The initial focus of the company is to advance these improved cytokines into clinical development for new therapies targeting autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, the versatility of the platform developed by Dr. Luis Serrano and his team will allow the development of new drugs for a wide range of immune-based diseases. Luis Serrano, co-founder of Orikine Bio and Director of the CRG, mentions: “Orikine Bio is the fifth spin-off launched by the Centre for Genomic Regulation in a short period of time, demonstrating that curiosity-driven research is a critical source for new idea generation and solutions for patients. The creation of this company has been possible thanks to the development of cutting-edge computational and experimental tools combined with decades of expertise in biochemistry”. Dr. Ariadna Montero, co-founder and Head of Biology at Orikine Bio, adds: “Protein design is a highly-precise task requiring accurate algorithms to generate reliable results. Our unique computational approach makes the process of protein design highly flexible and adaptable to almost any target, speeding up the development process for new drugs.” Sylvain Sachot, Partner at Asabys Partners, states “Orikine Bio’s uniqueness resides in the company’s profound understanding of the immunological processes underlying autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and its ability to modulate these anomalies. The company is targeting a large medical need, and we look forward to working with the management in developing and bringing new immune modulators to the market". “Orikine Bio's Foldikines© could become blockbusters drugs in immunology and this immediately convinced us of the potential of the project. We were highly motivated to cofound the company and shape the initial business plan. We are delighted to welcome Asabys Partners in the Seed Financing, all ingredients are in place for Orikine Bio to become a leader in its space” explains Clement Bertholet, MsC, Partner at AdBio. Alejo Chorny, Co-founder and CEO of Orikine Bio, adds “We are delighted to announce the successful completion of our seed financing round, a significant milestone for our biotech company focused on engineered cytokines for immune-mediated diseases. This funding injection not only validates the tremendous potential of our approach but also provides us with the resources to advance our groundbreaking work. We are grateful for the support and confidence shown by our investors and remain committed to delivering transformative therapies that have the power to reshape the lives of patients battling immune-mediated diseases worldwide”.

The city of Chipiona, in the province of Cadiz, will have this summer with the implementation of an online medical care service on its beaches. A service that aims to provide security and tranquility to any incident or health consultation that the thousands of bathers who attend the beaches may have. This is the first beach in Spain to launch an initiative that has, in addition to the support of the team of lifeguards and ATS working on the beaches, a telemedicine service that will cover, from the facilities of the lifeguard posts, any health problem that requires the review of a doctor remotely. The service is active since last June 15th and will be maintained until next September 15th from 11.00-21.00 every day of the week on the five beaches of the Andalusian municipality (Montijo, Cruz del Mar, Regla, Camarón and Las Tres Piedras) for the 19,000 inhabitants and tourists who visit these beaches every year. In this sense, the Town Council of Chipiona together with Instinto Deportivo bet on the use of technology to solve health needs through the One Click system, developed by the online health company and BHH member Ever Health, will allow to connect with doctors and quickly attend some of the most common diseases such as otitis or the appearance of fungus, often caused by the prolonged use of wet bathing suits and tight clothing, cystitis, skin lesions caused by constant exposure to the sun or insect or jellyfish bites, among other possible medical consultations linked to accidents, trauma or related to high temperatures, drought, change of environment or bathing in swimming pools and beaches. In addition, remember the importance of consulting truthful and professional sources of information, since it is always very easy to consult the Internet or friends and family. "We live surrounded by information, the possibility of consulting almost any topic on the internet is now commonplace and it is good to have access to information, but in health not everything goes, it is essential to contrast and to be able to have first-hand information" stated Rafael García, CEO and Founder of Ever Health. Telemedicine will play a fundamental role for any consultation, double medical opinion, or simply as a prevention tool, provided that they do not require urgent and immediate attention in person. In these cases, it is necessary to go to the nearest medical center or activate the emergency protocol and ambulance service.

After the success of its first edition, in which 3 healthcare projects were accelerated and invested in (Legit Health, Trak and Exheus), Kunsen brings new partners on board and all the lessons learned from Kunsen.

The goal remains unchanged. To drive the transformation of the healthcare system by helping digital health startups to enter the market, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In this new edition, they will select 3 projects to keep the work personalised and manage the specific needs of each startup.

What will this new edition be like?

The program will have an approximate duration of 6 months divided in 4 blocks:

• 1-to-1 personalised mentoring

Once their needs and areas of work have been identified, the projects will begin a 3-month stage of will begin a 3-month stage of individualised mentoring with experts in the sector.

The aim is to work over several sessions with each of the mentors, in a practical way and with ready to use knowledge.

These are some of the mentors confirmed for this new edition: José Antonio Hernández (Crowe), Marta de Vicente (Antares Consulting), Alejandro Castillejo (Sanitas), Luis García (Accenture), Aline Noizet (Digital Health Connector), Ignasi Heras (SeedLink), Fernando Atienza (PS Consulting), Beatriz Volckaert (Philips), Mariano Barbero (Dinamiza) and many more.

• Clinical-commercial validation

After the mentoring phase, startups will work on the preparation of the clinical validation in Kunsen's network of hospitals/clinics. Once the protocol is aligned with the interests and needs of the startup, Kunsen will manage the implementation and follow-up, as well as support in the elaboration of a report with the results of the study.

• Market Access

In this 2nd Edition, Kunsen focuses on helping startups to access the market.

• Make your solution reach more than the +250 centers adhered to the ASPE network.
• 1-to-1 meetings with the main healthcare groups in Spain.
• Present your project to the ASPE board of directors.

In addition to the partners of 1st edition, ASPE's support expands Kunsen’s network to more than 200 healthcare industry partners. At the same time, they are working with public agents to facilitate the access of startups to public hospitals.

Jose Luis Fernández, Partner and Program Manager at Kunsen, points out that "Our network of clinics and hospitals is undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources we have. 

Because they make product testing possible in a real environment, which we consider to be adding enormous value to startups. For hospitals it is a way to access to innovative solutions and implement tech solutions in their centers.

It also allows them to get in touch with the startup ecosystem, from which they are often very far away. In this sense, we seek to transform the relationship that the healthcare sector has with startups.”

• Investment Support

Last but not least, Kunsen will help startups structure financial needs and conditions of the capital round, as well as help raise capital from its healthcare network and VC partners.

Kunsen targets startups that develop technological innovations linked to the healthcare sector. These are some of the characteristics they look for in projects:

• Innovative/disruptive value propositions in the digital health and medical devices (SaMD) markets.
• Products with high healthcare value.
• Well-balanced teams with professional processes.
• Scalable business models.
• Projects that solve a REAL need.

Adrian Gorritxo, Partner and Accelerator Developer at Kunsen, says: "We are mainly looking for software projects with an innovative or disruptive component in the digital health and medical devices (SaMD), that seek to solve problems that many people have and always with a focus on clinical evidence. We seek people who are committed to their project and who are experts in the problem they are trying to solve. We really like people who think big and globally from the beginning." 

"About the maturity of the projects, we need projects that have at least an MPV (Minimum Viable Product). In principle, an idea or a PowerPoint is not for us, we care about the execution and how the problem is solved," he adds.

Call for applications

The registration period for the program is now open and applications can be submitted until June 17, 2022 through the form on its new website.

The pre-selected startups will have the opportunity to present their proposals to the industry-experts-committee at the Welcome Day (online/face-to-face) that will be held in early July 2022. From this event will come the 3 finalist projects that will enter the program.
