Vipragen aims to partner with any Bio-innovators to co-develop molecules through unique technology platforms. Our collaborators can benefit from the advanced Artificial intelligence co-developers for smarter and faster drug discovery programs. Vipragen is also focused on Nextgen alternate to animal testing as a part of the cell-based safety pharmacology assays, that are being validated at a fast pace. Vipragen welcomes start-ups and sponsor collaborators to make the most of such platforms and constantly add value to research by effective delivery.

Vipragen Collaborates with JSS Medical College

Vipragen signs an MOU with the JSS group of Hospital Mysore which is a part of JSS Medical College for a strategic collaboration for looking at holistic approach to healthcare. Through the collaboration the two groups are poised to take on pressing challenge pertaining to gap between Preclinical Drug testing to clinical In-patient approach. In the vision to perform an end to end Drug Development possibility and provide the collaborative partner with a comprehensive solution from Lab to Market. It is an absolute honour to integrate with the prestigious premiere institute such as JSS to make the clinical testing more versatile, with integrated project and data management. With this collaboration, Vipragen is poised to address the growing need to make drug discovery and development affordable.

JNC Collaboration

Vipragen Biosciences has partnered with the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in Bengaluru to help to identify the drug candidates that could potentially cure neurodegenerative diseases (ND) such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The research theorizes that the main cause of neurodegenerative diseases is an accumulation of toxic protein clumps inside neurons in aged individuals. However, these aggregates could be cleared using small molecules that accelerate an intracellular recycling mechanism called autophagy.

"We can use the proprietary platform to identify the new drug candidates for neurodegeneration" says Dr Chaitra Harsha, Joint MD, Vipragen Biosciences. The firm will carry forward testing of potential drugcandidates which showed promise in preclinical animal trials as part of a public-private partnership.
