𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮: 𝗔 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗟 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Last week, Isabelle Schiffer, Ph.D had the pleasure of visiting PL BioScience GmbH in Aachen for their advisory board meeting. As our newest portfolio company, this was a fantastic opportunity to meet the management team and board members in person. 🧫 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗟 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 PL BioScience GmbH is breaking new ground in the field of cell culture media with their innovative ELAREM™ product line—the world’s first affordable cell culture supplement based on human platelets. ELAREM™ offers the same benefits as traditional fetal bovine serum (FBS), but in a far more sustainable and ethical way. 🥁 We are particularly excited about their recently launched product line designed for therapeutic development, opening up new market opportunities and paving the way for international growth. With a strong management team and experienced board members, PL BioScience is set to make a significant impact in the cell culture industry. A big thank you to Hatim Hemeda and Christian Wilkes for hosting us in Aachen and ensuring we never ran out of sandwiches, cookies and coffee! 😊 We are excited to be part of PL BioScience’s journey and can’t wait to see what the future holds. 📷 : Photo credit goes to the wonderful selfie skills of Marius Rosenberg

Last week, Isabelle Schiffer, Ph.D visited our portfolio company actome in Freiburg. actome is redefining the way we approach protein detection and analysis, addressing a critical gap in the life sciences field. 🧬 While technologies for DNA and RNA have advanced significantly, the proteomics field has faced unique challenges. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲’𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗢) 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲. 💡 Their platform enables high-throughput, absolute quantification of proteins, protein interactions, and post-translational modifications using digital PCR technology—all without the need for external standards or controls. 🙌 During the visit, the team showed us the protocols in action, and we discussed their vision for the future of proteomics. ➡️ If you’re curious to learn more about Actome, feel free to reach out to us or connect directly with the Actome team.

🤔 How do you communicate complex topics in a clear, compelling way? Thank you, 🦜Yasmin Emre, for the opportunity to speak about our mission at b.value AG! As early-stage investors in Biotech, New Materials, and Life Sciences with a focus on sustainability and impact, our goal is not social media likes —we want to excite people for groundbreaking (and often complex!) technologies. I was super happy about the students’ curiosity and thoughtful questions as they prepare to create their own communication strategies for their final theses. Can’t wait to see the approaches they come up with!💡
