PUXANO at Knowledge for Growth 2026

4 June 2026

PUXANO attended Knowledge for Growth 2026 in Antwerp, one of Europe’s key life sciences conferences organised by Biovia. The event brought together stakeholders from biotech, medtech, digital health, agtech, and industrial biotech, creating a focused environment for scientific and industry exchange.
For PUXANO, the highlight was our founder and CEO, Wouter Van Putte, who participated in the “Tech for One Health (AI & Computational Drug Discovery)” pitch session. He presented PUXANO’s work in antigen design services for vaccine and antibody development companies.
In his pitch, Wouter outlined three complementary approaches we are actively developing:
  • generating soluble protein analogues
  • stabilising multimeric protein complexes using de novo scaffolds
  • isolating epitope domains and integrating them into novel protein scaffolds
These approaches reflect PUXANO’s focus on applying structural biology and protein engineering strategies to support the design of next-generation biologics.
Beyond the pitch, Knowledge for Growth provided a valuable setting to connect with peers and explore ongoing developments in the broader biotech landscape. For PUXANO, these exchanges are important to stay aligned with emerging needs in vaccine and therapeutic development and to further refine our technology direction.
We thank Biovia for organising the event and bringing together a strong cross-section of the European life sciences community!
