Series A

Hyasynth is an innovative Series A biopharma venture that's transforming how therapeutic cannabinoids are produced and accessed. Founded by Kevin Chen, Zack Wiltshire, Shoham Mookerjee, and Alex Campbell, Hyasynth exemplifies cutting-edge innovation in the bio sector.

The Innovation

Hyasynth has developed a groundbreaking method to produce cannabinoids using yeast through industrial fermentation, creating a more scalable, efficient, and sustainable alternative to traditional approaches. This innovative solution:

  • Offers advantages over conventional chemical synthesis methods
  • Provides an alternative to resource-intensive cannabis cultivation
  • Addresses growing demand for cannabinoids used in medical treatments
  • Enables consistent pharmaceutical-grade production

Advancing Therapeutic Solutions

The company's technology directly impacts the lives of people suffering from various conditions, as cannabinoids are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential in treating:

  • Epilepsy
  • Chronic pain
  • Other neurological conditions

Importantly, these alternatives can help reduce reliance on opioids, addressing a critical public health challenge.

Scientific Excellence

The co-founders, experts in yeast genetic engineering, have successfully created specialized yeast strains that produce cannabinoids at a large scale. Their approach leverages industrial fermentation—a widely established manufacturing process already used in food and pharmaceutical industries.

This scientific breakthrough promises to deliver cannabinoids that are:

  • Rare or difficult to extract from natural sources
  • Novel compounds with unique therapeutic properties
  • Consistently pure and pharmaceutical-grade

Strategic Partnerships

Hyasynth has formed key strategic relationships to accelerate commercialization, including a partnership with Organigram, a major player in the cannabis sector. The company is actively working to establish global connections with researchers and companies aligned with their mission.

Sustainable Vision

"Our aim is to make a sustainable and reliable supply chain for these unique products." — Hyasynth Team
