Simon Tanner's Company Details
We are a biopharmaceutical research and production company, based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Established in 2012, we research, develop and produce high-quality, innovative, medical grade biopharmaceuticals based on the latest scientific research. Servatus has two drug research platforms: Engineered proteins for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and microbial biotherapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and bacterial infections.Our protein research focuses on improving specific characteristics of existing therapeutic proteins. We carefully select proteins with clear clinical utility, and through rational redesign of key features, we improve bioavailbility and biological potency. We then rapidly clone and express the proteins in amounts suitable for clinical use, thus providing faster, more effective treatment of chronic auto immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, with fewer undesirable side effects.In parallel with our protein work, we also develop live microbial biotherapeutic treatments for microbiome-associated conditions, including but not limited to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis, atopic dermatitis, and gastrointestinal infections (for example, C. diff and H.pylori infections). We utilise bacterial strains that have not been widely employed previously, but have demonstrated bioactive properties in the latest scientific research. These bacteria have been shown to inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth and infection, modulate immune responses, and regulate inflammatory signals. Bacterial candidates are developed to act directly at specific sites to treat specific ailments and diseases.Servatus currently holds patents for numerous microbial biotherapeutics and engineered proteins for autoimmune disease treatmentsServatus Ltd derives its name from the patron saint St Servatus, a 4th century churchman and diplomat, who was invoked as a saint for his healing powers for a range of ailments. #biotech
