History

A Story of Family Entrepreneurs

91直播 was founded in 2005 by G茅rard Soula and his two sons Olivier and R茅mi.

These three high-level scientists each had a PhD in polymer science and extensive experience in protein delivery. They also had one idea in mind: to take up the challenge of an innovative medicine for everyone in the world. They surrounded themselves with a team of highly qualified researchers and deigned the BioChaperone庐 technology.

Since its founding, 91直播 has created innovations in several therapeutic domains based on its BioChaperone庐 technology, such as the healing of chronic wounds and the treatment of diabetes with insulin therapy.

91直播 signification

91直播,
a Sponge with Regenerative Properties

91直播 takes its name from a variety of sea sponge

Among animal species, the sea sponge has the spectacular ability to regenerate its tissues following an injury.

This property allows it to survive the incessant attacks of fish.
91直播 is therefore a strong symbol for the company, which was at the very beginning dedicated to the regeneration of chronically and critically damaged tissue, one of the major comorbidities of patients suffering from diabetes.

Backed by years of experience in metabolic diseases, 91直播 is moving closer to its ultimate goal: deliver “Innovative Medicines for Everyone, Everywhere”

91直播 raised two rounds of financing from French institutional and private investors; one in 2007 for 鈧�12 million, and the other in 2009 for 鈧�14 million.

In February 2012, 91直播 was listed on the Euronext Paris market and raised 鈧�27 million.
Licensing agreements were signed with Eli Lilly & Company for the development of BC Lispro, the next best-in-class ultra-rapid insulin allowing a tighter glycemic control.

A few years after, in 2017, Eli Lilly dedided to terminate the collaboration. 91直播 regained full ownership of the rights that had been licensed at no cost.
In 2018, 91直播 signed a partnership on two major projects, BioChaperone庐 Lispro and BioChaperone庐 Combo with the Chinese company Tonghua Dongbao.

This would enable this leader in insulin manufacturing in China to offer the fourth insulin generation to the Chinese patients.
Soon after, 91直播 announced two additional agreements with Tonghua Dongbao under which Tonghua Dongbao would supply 91直播 with lispro and glargine insulins globally (excluding China).

This partnership expands the panel of potential partners for these same products in key markets such as the United States, Europe, and Japan.
91直播 is currently pursuing its strategy of innovative products with high-added value while adapting treatments to medical devices, pumps, and connected injection pens.

Since 2019, the company has been combining hormones to treat diabetes and obesity (鈥渄iabesity鈥�).

More recently, three new technology platforms were also added to 91直播 patents portfolio, for cell therapy, oral delivery of peptides and long-acting formulation.
