Meet Gate2Brain S.L. – TAAC#6 Finalist Transforming Medicine

Gate2Brain, a Catalan biotech startup born during the pandemic, is revolutionising how medicines reach the brain. With a patented peptide-based platform technology, they’re solving a critical problem: delivering drugs to the brain while bypassing the blood-brain barrier.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗼:
Gate2Brain uses peptides as “shuttles” to transport therapies directly to the brain. This approach enables treatments for conditions like pediatric brain tumors to become more effective and less harmful, reducing side effects.
Gat2Brain 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
➡️ Address brain diseases where a potential therapy needs a better transport. Starting with pediatric brain tumors, a devastating diagnosis with limited treatment options.
➡️ Partner with institutions like Sant Joan de Déu Hospital to bring life-saving therapies to children. Later the technology could be used in many other diseases impacting millions of people worldwide.
𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
➡️ Spin-off of University of Barcelona, IRB Barcelona, and Sant Joan de Déu Pediatric Hospital with a portfolio of 6 patents.
➡️ Secured €4.5M+ in national and international funding, including support from the EIC Accelerator and Botín Foundation.
➡️ Opening a new investment round to advance their preclinical phase and pave the way for clinical trials within two years.
Gate2Brain isn’t just creating technology; they’re offering hope. As CEO Meritxell Teixido explains: “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵.”
