Production (and other) activities: DelSiTech Ltd specialises in a silica-based implant, subcutaneous and intra-muscular injectable technology for controlled release of small molecular drugs and biopharmaceuticals: proteins, polysaccharides (heparin) and viruses.

Core technologies: DelSiTech(TM) is an advanced therapeutics delivery technology for implants, subcutaneous and intramuscular administration suitable for the controlled delivery of a wide range of active ingredients, including small molecules, proteins, heparin and viruses. The proprietary technology is based on silica (SiO2) matrix into which the active ingredient is embedded. The matrix can be designed to degrade at the required rate to assure a tightly controlled release of the active substance, providing a better therapeutic effect in situ and causing lower systemic toxicological side-effects than alternative delivery systems. The proof of principle has been demonstrated in animal testing both with small synthetic drugs and biologics like viruses. The technology was developed in two universities by the Biomaterial Research Group in Turku, Finland and is owned and patented by DelSiTech Ltd.

Production (and other) activities: We develop and license vaccines and novel technologies for vaccines and diagnostics.

R&D activities: Primary lead:
• Preventive vaccine for Type 1 Diabetes

Other leads:
• Asthma-Allergy vaccine
• IMAVAC™ -technology based on VLP (Virus Like Particles)
• Immunomodulators

IPR:
• Type 1 Diabetes: internationally patented
• Asthma and Allergy: PCT passed
• Celiac: PCT passed

Deals:
• Diabetes vaccine licensed to Sanofi -Pasteur

Core technologies: Traditional vaccines contain either killed or attenuated viruses. A more modern approach is a concept of Virus Like Particles, VLP. VLP-based vaccines have important advantages over traditional vaccines since they give stronger immunostimulation than denatured virus particles or soluble viral proteins. In addition, they are often eff ective at eliciting both T-and B-cell immune responses while traditional vaccines induce mainly B-cell responses. _ e potential of this technology is already demonstrated by the striking success of the fi rst VLP-based human vaccines targeting papillomavirus- induced cervical cancer. In addition to vaccines Vactech IMAVAC™ VLP technology opens doors to other applications such as vaccine components (adjuvant), delivery vehicles and diagnostics.
