What problem does our project solve?
We are working on medicines for dogs and horses, and in the future also for cats. We use our proprietary ALLO-BCLX technology. We are developing biological drugs that, in addition to their symptomatic action, will also have a causal effect by influencing the inflammatory environment and activating natural mechanisms for the reconstruction of diseased tissues. Thanks to this, future Bioceltix drugs will cause fewer side effects and have a long-lasting effect after just one administration.
As part of the NCBR program, we received funding for a project related to our drug candidate BCX-CM-J, intended for the treatment of joint inflammation in dogs. NCBR supported the project from the moment of preclinical research. What distinguishes this project - also on a global scale - is that for the needs of product development, we have created our own factory in accordance with the GMP pharmaceutical standard. This allowed us to become one of the few centers of this type in the world. To this day, we are the only biotechnology company with the GMP status for working with biological drugs for animals in Poland.
Who will benefit from the project results?
The direct beneficiaries of our project will be dogs who will be able to receive more effective treatment. Due to the relationship between animals and their guardians, it can be said that the results of our project will also benefit people - dog guardians, who will be able to take better care of their animals' health. In turn, considering the fact that we are setting new standards in veterinary medicine, we can assume that the entire industry will benefit from the results of our project.
