Hilco Streambank (“Hilco”) is seeking offers to acquire the intellectual property assets of AigenPulse Limited (In Administration) (“AigenPulse” or the “Company”) on behalf of the Joint Administrators of the Company, Matt Haw and Janet Burt of RSM Restructuring Advisory LLP.

Background

AigenPulse is an innovative and dynamic company at the intersection between life sciences and data technology. Founded in 2016, the aim of the Company was to streamline the drug discovery process by combining machine learning and human expertise.

Management of the Company advise that there are a number of challenges drug discovery companies face, such as the time-consuming manual analyses of highly complex data, low precision and reproducibility of data, and challenges in adhering to compliance processes. The Company developed the bespoke AigenPulse platform in order to address these challenges.

The AigenPulse platform is a series of interrelated systems designed to create efficiencies within the life sciences research sector.  A selection of these efficiencies is summarised below:

  • 100% reproducibility of data using automated supervised gating and workspace templating. The system is also GxP aligned for use in clinical development, including full audit trails.
  • Processing 100s of datasets simultaneously and at scale, freeing up scientists for higher value tasks. The suite also allows for automatic QA/QC on datasets providing clarity on data quality.
  • Retaining pipeline and data integration pipelines to ensure 100% reproducibility. Data is automatically parsed and integrated to be usable in analyses and visualisations.

Prior to the Company’s Administration, management advise that the AigenPulse platform had won a contract from one of the world’s premier biopharmaceutical companies, reducing the data analysis process as part of a cancer study by up to 50%.

The Company has generated circa £2m in revenue since its inception and was profitable prior to its Administration, with net profit of circa £275k in 2018.
