About Us
WHO WE ARE
BIOMATS Inc. is a pre-seed startup that focuses on the design and production of bioprinters for various applications with specifically curated bioinks. Founded in 2022, BIOMATS is currently incubated by the AnimoLabs of De La Salle University (Manila) and is currently on the search for innovators and early-adopters of the 3D bioprinting technology. We aim to bridge the gap between suppliers and the slowly growing biotechnology/biomedical industry through our bioinks and bioprinters.
WHAT WE DO
The hard tech startup focuses on, primarily the formulation of application-specific bioinks designed to cater to the production of innovative biomaterial products. Through our platform, we aim to network raw material suppliers through our in-house-developed repository of polymers. This data will help establish a reliable and science-backed inventory of biomolecules, biopolymers, and materials for research and development use. Our team of engineers, scientists, and clinicians have converged to build a low-cost, high-throughput bioprinter, aimed at printing structures of varying dimension and cellular complexity.
HOW WE CAN BE OF SERVICE
As the bioprinting industry continues to grow throughout the decade, bioink formulations have not yet shown the same expansion. Simultaneous to the further exposure to the bioprinting field, our team realized that the natural resources the bioink realm requires - the Philippines houses in its backyard. These natural resources, whether found on land or water, can provide the diversity and structure that bio-inks require. Furthermore, extrusion by a bioprinter following nature-inspired spatial deposition would enhance this material beyond its inherent benefits. Unfortunately, many of the Philippines’ resources are either underused or undervalued. Through BIOMATS we hope to elevate the value of our local resources and make this accessible to bioprinting research groups/companies globally who require specific characteristics for successful biomaterial development.
Sustainability Goals
BIOMATS also aims to be aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
To improve the quality of life for the Filipinos and the rest of the world through bioprinting.
To continuously innovate in the country’s biotechnology and bioprinting industry and build on the infrastructures.
To be a responsible company, ensuring that the consumption and production of the bioprinters, bioinks, and biomaterials are sustainable.
