Pittsburgh, PA. May 4th, 2022
We are excited to announce the strategic re-structuring of BioHybrid Solutions, LLC (BHS, LLC). BHS, LLC is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioHybrid Solutions Holdings, Inc. (BHSH, Inc.). On the heels of this re-structuring, another wholly-owned subsidiary of BHSH, Inc., BHS Biotechnology, LLC, has been formed.
The success of BHS’s NanoArmoring™ technology platform is the catalyst for this change. Specifically, the deployment of BHS’s capabilities expands the therapeutic window for biological drugs. BHS’s efficient NanoArmoring™ technology addresses the key limitations of commercial biologics drug development: half-life extension, immunogenicity, targeting, and delivery. Armed with best-in-class experience using Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP), a comprehensive Intellectual Property portfolio, and a validated technology platform in the biologics arena, BHS Biotechnology is poised to produce numerous safer, needed and otherwise unavailable biological drugs, thereby saving lives.
Simultaneously with the corporate re-structure, Jean Pineault, formerly President & CEO of BHS, LLC, has been appointed as the President & CEO of BHSH, Inc. A new Board of Directors was formed with two non-executive Directors (David Colaizzi, Chair, and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, CSO), and one executive Director (Jean Pineault).
“BHS is in an envious position with its technology and know-how. As biologics drug development gains speed, it is facing common issues that lead to either termination of too many drug development programs, or only a limited patient population benefit. Some partial solutions have been used to extend half-life, curb immunogenicity, improve targeting, and delivery, but very few provide simultaneous solutions to multiple issues. For example, BHS’s drug development programs have increased half-life over 100 fold, while retaining almost full function, and dramatically reduced immunogenicity. BHS’s re-structuring will be the pivot point from which a series of NanoArmored™ biological therapeutics evolve.” said Pineault.
Based on a step-by-step approach starting with state-of-the-art computerized protein-polymer in silico engineering, the intelligent creation of targeted bioconjugates libraries, and the associated characterization of the candidates, BHS is laying down a decidedly more efficient path for high-throughput biologics problem-solving.
“A big driver of our excitement is being part of the growing Pittsburgh biotech economy – evolving science initiated locally at CMU, establishing an advanced research/manufacturing facility in the community, and developing a talented workforce determined to improve outcomes of therapeutics. We are thankful to benefit from and eager to add to the infrastructure.”, said Colaizzi.
