This collection contains more than 550 different wild-type strains each of one
patentable for its performance.

Harsh environment for the natural gut microflora
1st Objective 1: To obtain a probiotic formula containing strains
originating in undeveloped countries.
2nd Objective: To demonstrate that the some of our strains
outperforms commercial controls: VSL#3, LGG, v299, Reuteri…
FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS: PROBIOTICS
Sistematic in-Vitro Screening for

controls.
Isolation and recovery of strains
AB-Biotics has a strong experience working with human isolates (saliva and feces). hence we have
optimized the culture media and growth conditions in order to achieve the maximum diversity to have
better functionality results.
AB-Biotics usually works with strains that have their natural habitat in the human gut such as
Lactobacillus spp., Pediococcus spp. or Streptococcus spp.. All these genus have demonstrated a good
balance between fermentative abilities and antimicrobial activity, while all of them maintain a good mucus
adhesion performance.

AB-GENOTYPING’s laboratory
AB-GENOTYPING has a 45m2 molecular biology laboratory that has been specially
designed for doing genotyping analysis.
The laboratory is divided in two different work zones to avoid samples cross-
contamination: pre-PCR zone and post-PCR zone
- Laboratory with cutting edge technology for the development
of genetic tests through liquid arrays
- Liquid arrays allow the complete customization of the assay by
AB-GENOTYPING in order to design specific products for
each medical specialty.
- Laboratory with equipments that allow the analysis of 384
genetic variations per sample, and for 96 samples in parallel.
- A complete analysis of 180 samples takes 3-4 days work, and
during a week two of those cycles can be done.

Pharmacogenetics can also improve clinical
trials and drugs development by (1):
• Reducing development costs
• Increasing clinical trials efficiency
• Obtaining better drugs tolerance results
• Assuming more coherent risks
AB-GENOTYPING will participate in the
development of I+D genotyping projects as
developing partners or as genetic laboratory
service.
Nutrigenetics studies the influence that
genetic variations can have on individual’s
response to nutrients.

• Human Genome sequencing in 2001 demonstrated that
the DNA of all individuals is 99.9% identical.
•This mere 0.1%, in combination with environmental factors
is what makes each individual unique
It has been shown that certain genetic differences can be key to
determine the efficacy and toxicity of a drug in a patient
• Pharmacogenetic studies how genes influence an individual’s response to
drugs

System
Since 2006 FDA publishes an official list of drugs for which the
genetic analysis of patients is required prior to drug
prescription.
Nowadays 10% of FDA labeled products already contain
pharmacogenetic information and this percentage will increase
in the future.

MARKET
Lung cancer causes 30% of all cancer deaths.
42% of patients survive after one year, but only 15% survive after 5 years. Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) accounts for the 25% of all drugs sales for cancer treatment. NSCLC sales from $4 billion in 2009 to > $6.5 billion in 2019 (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and Japan).
Pancreatic cancer has a very low survival (less than 5% after 2 years).
The US pancreatic cancer drug market will grow to $1.1 billion by 2013.

Strengths
Formation , commitment and motivation of the team.
Flexibility, almost no tangible assets investments.
Team work with different backgrounds.
Weaknesses
Lack of experience of a very young team.
Lack of financial resources to develop our pipeline.
Diversification of pipeline and solutions.
Opportunities
Biotechnology is full of opportunities to cover needs. IP solutions.
Well organized international sources of scientific information.
Pharma Industries are interested in Biotech Solutions.
Global markets, led us seek for clients and VC outside Spain.
EU and Spanish government grants are lowering R&D investment risk.
Threats
Spain is not branded as a Biotech solution generator (Medikon is not in Barcelona)
Most of Venture Capital in Spain has not many contacts with big industries.
Big industries in Spain are not willing to innovate. (Difficult base market)
Lack of financial tools for new fast growing enterprises in Spain (no alternative public
markets)
