Mission
Together with pharmaceutical partners, we develop drug candidates to advance into the clinic
New solutions and new therapies need new avenues to reach them. The age of cells producing biological compounds has achieved a lot for human medicine, but its means are coming to an end. A step change in technology is required to unleash the potential of molecules we didn’t dream we would discover – or be able to create if we did.
ELEVA is opening this realm of unprecedented therapies with the help of an inconspicuous but incredibly efficient tool: Bryophyta, more commonly known as moss. This ancient organism holds the key to the therapies of the future. Moss plants are not only able to produce the most complex and demanding proteins; with their unique characteristics, they virtually invite easy, stable engineering and reliable output.
What we offer
How Eleva can change your world
We have harnessed the moss platform’s outstanding features to create candidates and take them to clinical stages, ready for a bright future. Be our clinical partner to develop unprecedented candidates into the therapies that will turn around countless patient’s lives.
Join us and our moss cells to unleash opportunities never imagined before, based on a platform that surpasses the capacities of all other cell lines used to date.

Business Model
At Eleva…

… we develop complex proteins into tomorrow’s drugs in partnership with pharmaceutical companies

… we unlock the potential of difficult compounds that have so far failed to get expressed

… we explore unusual opportunities in other promising fields
We have successfully developed enzymes and other proteins into clinical stages and continue to scout for promising compounds. This results in a plethora of opportunities. Whilst our technology platform remains the property of Eleva, new individual assets will be developed in cooperation with pharmaceutical partners. Each of such partnerships will be taken into a newly formed subsidiary. This allows the partners to focus on the respective indication.
Our Pipeline
We are inviting pharmaceutical partners to take all current and future candidates to clinical success.

Recent News
Björn Cochlovius New CEO of Eleva
Björn Cochlovius Ph.D. has become the new CEO of Eleva, a Freiburg-based biotech company and the developer of “Bryotechnology”, a unique and pioneering process for the moss-based production of complex therapeutic proteins. The renowned oncologist, immunologist, and molecular biologist has nearly three decades of experience in scientific, entrepreneurial, and advisory leadership roles in his field.
Eleva Enters Clinical Development of Difficult-To-Express High-Potential Proteins
Eleva, a manufacturer of superior biologics, is entering clinical phases with its own drug candidates, such as immune-regulating factor H, as well as in collaboration with pharmaceutical partners. Its moss-based platform is ideally suited to produce difficult-to-express but therapeutically promising drug candidates.
Eleva Reaches Industrial Production Scale and Prepares for Clinical Development of Factor H
Eleva, a manufacturer of superior biologics, is scaling up its production capacity to 2500 l in state-of-the-art single-use reactors. This will produce sufficient quantities of factor H to cover all three clinical phases.
