Neuroimmune Disorders

Kigen develops synthetic enzyme manufacturing of therapeutics for chronic neuroimmune diseases — making the next generation of treatments scalable and accessible.

■ Precision Biomanufacturing for Chronic Disease [Chapter · 01]

Chronic neuroinflammatory diseases affect hundreds of millions worldwide. Current treatments focus on downstream events. Targeting upstream molecular pathways at therapeutic scale has been impossible, until now.

Kigen is building the synbio infrastructure to manufacture effective neuroinflammatory treatments. We combine AI-driven protein engineering with scalable synthetic biology manufacturing processes to produce therapeutic molecules that were previously inaccessible at meaningful scale.

Our platform replaces complex chemical synthesis with single-enzyme precision — enabling production at costs and purities that make global therapeutic access possible.

Therapeutic Impact

Direct-to-market nutraceuticals and therapeutics targeting chronic neuroinflammatory diseases — including post-TBI, stroke, neuropathic pain, IBD, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Global Neuroinflammatory
Health Crisis

Our initial programmes target conditions where chronic neuroinflammation drives disease progression and current treatments remain inadequate.

01.

Neuroinflammation

Chronic inflammation in the central nervous system underlies conditions from traumatic brain injury to neurodegenerative disease. Kigen targets pathways that promote neural recovery and resolution.

Chronic Pain

Neuropathic and inflammatory pain affects over a billion people globally. Our approach targets the biological mechanisms of resolution rather than symptom suppression.

Chronic Immune Dysfunction

From autoimmune conditions to post-infectious disorders, chronic immune dysfunction demands new therapeutic approaches targeting upstream molecular pathways.

Ageing

Inflammaging is a systemic driver of progressive tissue damage, especially in the brain where low-grade chronic neuroinflammation is a major contributor to age-related neurodegeneration.

Treatment

Chronic inflammatory disease affects billions. Therapeutics can target upstream mechanisms to turn off inflammation, but only if we can manufacture these molecular tools at scale. Kigen is building the synthetic manufacturing processes to make that possible.
