The Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research (CPGR) plays a pivotal role in advancing South Africa’s ambition to emerge as a leading bio-economy in the 21st century. As a pioneering force in OMICS technology encompassing Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics, CPGR delivers comprehensive solutions to clients, fostering the growth of the biotechnology sector. Integrating cutting-edge OMICS technologies with bio-computational pipelines, CPGR supports projects in the life sciences and biomedical field in South Africa, all managed through an ISO 9001:2015 certified and compliant quality management system. Founded in 2006 through an initiative by the South African Department of Science and Technology (DST; now the Department of Science and Innovation/DSI), CPGR received financial support from the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) to boost bio-economic development. This involved making capital-intensive and costly-to-maintain capacity accessible to scientists in academia and industry, thereby enhancing their capacity for publishing and patenting. CPGR's OMICS accelerator programs have led to the establishment of Artisan Biomed (established in 2015, now known as Mediclinic Precise) and, more recently, D-CYPHR (2022). Additionally, CPGR hosts DIPLOMICS, a substantial infrastructure program initiated by the DST. Since its inception, CPGR has facilitated over 1 200 OMICS research projects, consistently striving to implement the latest OMICS solutions to enrich the biotechnology sector in South Africa.

acebiome

AceBiome is a microbiome company based in South Korea specializing in weight management probiotics. The company spun out of Bioneer Corporation in 2017 with the mission to improve the lives of overweight people and the quality of life through probiotic products. The company has grown rapidly with its BNRThin brand in the dietary supplement industry. The flagship probiotic strain of the company is Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17(“BNR17”), which is the first probiotic strain approved by the MFDS (Korea FDA) as a functional ingredient to help reduce body fat in addition to intestinal health. The proprietary strain and its product BNRThin have won premier awards, including NutraIngredients Awards in weight management ingredients and probiotics products. Bioneer and AceBiome have researched the strain for about two decades and have proven to help reduce body fat and relieve irritable bowel syndrome through clinical studies. AceBiome has recently expanded its horizon of the product portfolio beyond probiotics. It added a joint health supplement and a balm product under the "AnaParactin" brand, incorporating Andrographolide named “ParActin”, a plant extract of Andrographis paniculata. On the research side, the AceBiome R&D team has been building its sizable probiotic strain bank with extensive research, and several next-generation probiotic strains are in the pipeline.
