Our Mission
Our mission is to revolutionize insecticide industry with environmentally safe and highly species-specific molecules. Our technology enables de-novo design of active substances with desired activity profile towards species of interest, targeting pests without harming the ecosystem and human health.
Ecology & Health
Insect biodiversity is not just a buzz word. Insects are indeed vital to ecosystems and agriculture, and their ongoing loss poses an imminent global threat. Only a tiny proportion (hundreds) of all insect species (millions) are pests and disease vectors. Yet the economic damage they inflict exceeds US $ trillions. Devastating diseases spread by insects (malaria, sleeping sickness, viroses) threaten half of the world's population.
Insecticide industry is in crisis
Current insecticides, being broad-spectrum, harm the environment and health, prompting global bans due to regulations. However, newer, safer alternatives haven't adequately replaced banned substances. Additionally, insects are growing resistant to even potent insecticides. To address this, we need modern, safer substances with diverse modes of action. Subsequently, replacing old, harmful insecticides with precise, eco-friendly options becomes imperative.
Our Breakthrough
We take interdisciplinary approaches of the modern drug design, deep learning-powered cheminformatics, protein molecular dynamics modeling, high throughput chemical screening coupled to big data exploration, and parallel medicinal chemistry to develop new generation of green, precision means of insect control.
Meet Our Team
In Preagon Biotech we brought under one roof decades of experience from structural and chemical biology. medical chemistry, small molecules development, cheminformatics and deep understanding of molecular and developmental insect endocrinology and combined it with senior management professionals.
