March 02 12:28 2021

 

  • Global Biotechnology Developer Working with Key Protein Production.

  • Objectives Focused on Vaccine & Drug Performance at Lower Costs. 

  • Collaboration with Turtle Tree Scientific to Enhance Development Program.

  • New Addition to Board of Directors with 29 Years of Relevant Experience.

Dyadic International, Inc. (NASDAQ: DYAI) is a global biotechnology company which is developing what it believes will be a potentially significant biopharmaceutical protein production platform based on the fungus Thermothelomyces heterothallica (formerly Myceliophthora thermophila), named C1. The C1 microorganism, which enables the development and large scale manufacture of low cost proteins, has the potential to be further developed to help speed up the development, lower production costs and improve the performance of biologic vaccines and drugs at flexible commercial scales. 

DYAI is using the C1 technology and other technologies to conduct research, development and commercial activities for the development and manufacturing of human and animal vaccines and drugs, such as virus like particles (VLPs) and antigens, monoclonal antibodies, Fab antibody fragments, Fc-Fusion proteins, biosimilars and/or biobetters, and other therapeutic proteins. DYAI pursues research and development collaborations, licensing arrangements and other commercial opportunities with its partners and collaborators to leverage the value and benefits of these technologies in development and manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. 

DYAI believes the C1 technology may help bring biologic vaccines, drugs and other biologic products to market faster, in greater volumes, at lower cost, and with new properties to drug developers and manufacturers, and improve access and cost to patients and the healthcare system, but most importantly save lives.

DYAI meets the high listing standards for the NASDAQ exchange and also has an attractive share structure with only 27.4 million shares outstanding and a public float of 18.5 million. 

  • Collaboration with TurtleTree Scientific to Develop Recombinant Protein Growth Factors for Healing and Regenerative Therapies 

On February 2nd DYAI announced a fully funded collaboration with TurtleTree Scientific to develop a number of recombinant protein growth factors which can be manufactured at high yields and at low cost in bioreactors. Growth factors can play a critical role in tissue development and healing, including regenerative therapies, among other emerging biological processes and products.

Growth factors are cell signaling molecules that play an important role in increasing the quality and quantities of a growing number of potential biological products that are derived from cell cultures. DYAI will engineer its hyper-productive C1 cell lines to develop a number of growth factors with high bioactivity and yields that can be manufactured at flexible commercial scales and at costs that should help accelerate business.

Manufacturing human growth factors at large scale, and at an affordable cost can impact several exciting commercial processes including tissue healing, anti-inflammatory and other forms of regenerative medicine. Additionally, growth factors have the potential to be applied in several other emerging and exciting applications.
