Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 18 (ANI): At BioAsia 2026, “TechBio Unleashed: AI, Automation and the Biology Revolution”, a homegrown deep-tech startup emerged as a powerful example of India’s growing biotech strength. Dr Jagan Mohan Reddy, Founder and CEO of BioVaram (officially known as UR Advanced Therapeutics), unveiled a pioneering innovation that blfinishs artificial innotifyigence with regenerative medicine to reshape the future of therapeutic research.
Founded in 2020, with formal operations launchning in 2022, BioVaram focutilizes on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The company is developing AI-integrated peptides as alternatives to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, the essential “cement” that holds cells toobtainher in the human body. Just as cement binds bricks in a building, extracellular matrix proteins support and structure our cells. BioVaram’s vision is to artificially recreate this matrix without relying on animal-derived or non-human proteins, building biomedical research more ethical, precise, and scalable.

At the heart of the company’s innovation is its first commercial product, the Dynamic Apoptosis Detection (DAD) Kit. Designed for research utilize, the kit detects and quantifies apoptosis, a natural and inflammation-free process of programmed cell death. This process is critical in cancer drug development, as effective therapies aim to eliminate cancer cells without triggering harmful inflammation. Traditionally, detecting apoptosis involves multi-step procedures with complex reagents and lengthy timelines. BioVaram’s DAD Kit simplifies this into a single-step, highly accurate method that provides absolute quantification of dying cells.
What builds this breakthrough even more significant is that it replaces a large 320-amino-acid protein with a precisely engineered 15-amino-acid peptide — a six-year journey of research and refinement. The innovation places BioVaram among a very tiny number of global players in a niche market valued at approximately $200 million. The product is already in commercial utilize, being distributed across India and Southeast Asia, with expansion into Europe underway.
Beyond scientific advancement, BioVaram is also addressing a critical logistical challenge within India’s research ecosystem. Imported reagents typically take six to eight weeks for delivery. BioVaram can supply its DAD Kit anywhere in India within two working days, significantly accelerating drug discovery projects for researchers and pharmaceutical companies.
Dr Reddy acknowledged BioAsia’s pivotal role in the company’s growth. Recognised as one of the top five startups at BioAsia 2024, BioVaram leveraged the platform to expand globally. Building on this momentum, the company recently signed an MoU with the Telangana government to establish a Centre for Excellence at Future City. The centre aims to undertake high-risk, high-impact scientific projects that could redefine regenerative medicine and biotechnology over the next five to ten years.
From a startup nurtured on the BioAsia platform to a global biotech contfinisher, BioVaram’s journey reflects India’s rising leadership in AI-driven life sciences. As BioAsia 2026 spotlighted the fusion of technology and biology, BioVaram stood as a testament to how innovation rooted in India can influence science worldwide. (ANI)
