NAHSHONIM, Israel, Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FreezeM, an Agri-tech pioneering biotechnology company that offers Breeding-as-a-Service (BaaS) for Black Soldier Fly (BSF) protein factories, announced today the closure of $14.2 million in Series A funding. The funding round was led by a group of seasoned industrial investors and the prestigious European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund), along with FreezeM's existing investors and partners. The funding will be used to accelerate the growth of the company's breeding hubs network and commercialize its novel solutions at scale, accommodating the rapidly increasing market demand.

Key Points:

Traditionally BSF breeding is a major bottleneck in industrial scale insect protein production, requiring unique bio-expertise to tackle inherent colony instabilities and technological gaps.
By eliminating these industry constraints, PauseM® not only promotes sector growth but also facilitates scaling of the global insect protein industry.
FreezeM takes the breeding hurdle out of the equation, streamlining insect protein production and making it more efficient and accessible from new entrants to veteran market players.
Our technology unleashes the insect market from its shackles and will propel the insect protein market to fulfill its true potential," said Dr. Yuval Gilad, Co-founder and CEO of FreezeM.

The Barth Syndrome Foundation Delivers Petition to FDA Advocating for a Fair, Equitable and Appropriate Review of the Only Potential Treatment for Barth Syndrome

Retrieved on:

Thursday, December 21, 2023

BOSTON, Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Barth Syndrome Foundation (BSF), the only patient advocacy organization dedicated to Barth syndrome and saving lives around the world through education, advances in treatment and finding a cure, today announced that it is petitioning the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review the New Drug Application (NDA) for elamipretide, the only potential treatment for Barth syndrome, in a fair, equitable and appropriate manner. Despite compelling evidence that elamipretide has been well-tolerated and has demonstrated clinical benefit in Barth syndrome, and despite ongoing efforts by the Barth Syndrome Foundation and other advocates to engage with regulators, the FDA has refused to review an NDA to date. The petition ran from mid-September to mid-November, and in just two months, garnered nearly 20,000 signatures from individuals across all 50 U.S. states, plus Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and deployed military personnel.

Key Points:

There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for Barth syndrome, and there are no other potential therapies in clinical development.
The Barth Syndrome Foundation and leading scientific thought leaders lobbied for the development of elamipretide for Barth syndrome beginning in 2014.
There simply aren't enough people with Barth syndrome, though, to meet the impossible statistical requirements of the FDA to give elamipretide a full drug review.
Barth syndrome is a rare, X-linked genetic disorder with an estimated incidence of only 1 in 1 million live births.
