BioEridan, a Serbian biotechnology startup supported by TS Ventures Fund, recently premiered its documentary, Science Beneath the Surface, which showcases its innovative underwater Aquafarms and research into longevity science. The film debuted in Belgrade on September 15 and was screened at Cambridge Tech Week on September 16.1245
The documentary chronicles BioEridan's evolution from a scientific project to the establishment of underwater Aquafarms located approximately 13 metres beneath the sea. These Aquafarms utilize controlled hydroponic systems to cultivate plants in a highly regulated environment, aimed at advancing biotechnology research.
At the core of BioEridan's mission is the exploration of longevity and healthy aging, particularly through research on telomeres, which are crucial for cellular aging. The company is also developing a bioactive ingredient intended for future longevity-focused products.
Dr. Jelena Milovanović, Founder and CEO, stated, “BioEridan was founded on the belief that transformative science can come from anywhere... From Serbia, we want to build a new model for biotechnology that is ambitious in its science, responsible in its use of nature and capable of improving lives around the world.”
The screening at Christ’s College was part of a roundtable that gathered key figures from the UK and Serbia to discuss collaboration in science and technology. Davor Sakač, CEO of TS Ventures Fund, emphasized the significance of BioEridan's journey, noting its potential to connect Serbian innovation with global markets.
BioEridan's documentary launch marks a significant milestone in its efforts to enhance its research capacity and international presence, aiming to establish Serbia as a recognized contributor to biotechnology and longevity science.
“The documentary, 'Science Beneath the Surface,' premiered in Belgrade on September 15 and was screened the next day at a UK-Serbia roundtable at Christ’s College, Cambridge. BioEridan's Aquafarms, located 13 metres underwater, use hydroponic systems to cultivate plants for research on telomeres and healthy aging.”
