Zentraxa is focused on precision bioengineering to produce peptides with predictable properties tailored towards purpose. The company points out that peptides are amino acids that are the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin, like collagen and elastin. It has come out with a synthetic biology platform, Zentide, that designs, produces and tests novel peptides. Zentraxa argues that Zentide can circumvent previously existing bio-design limits imposed by conventional peptide synthesis and produce tailor-made biomaterials for healthcare, personal care and industrial uses. Zentraxa is initially targeting healthcare with its first biomaterial, a debondable adhesive, for use in wound care. The company asserts that the material has other uses such as cosmetics and industrial applications due to its ability to bond strongly while still being easily and painlessly removable. Zentraxa will use the investment to create a portfolio of other biomaterials for licensing to global businesses in the health and industrial sectors via its Zentide platform.
