Venomtech Ltd

Venomtech Ltd is a biotechnology company based in Kent, UK, that specializes in venom-derived research and drug discovery. Founded in 2010 by chief scientific officer Steve Trim, the company maintains one of the largest libraries of naturally sourced venom-derived peptides and proteins available in the UK, spanning a diverse range of vertebrate and invertebrate species. They differentiate themselves through proprietary technical capabilities in venom extraction, fractionation, purification, and identification, providing high-quality, ready-to-use screening tools such as their proprietary Targeted Venom Discovery Arrays (TVDAs). These arrays are engineered to overcome common bottlenecks in drug discovery by helping researchers identify unique, high-value candidates for challenging drug, pesticide, and cosmetic targets.

By leveraging their deep knowledge of venom biochemistry, Venomtech supports customers in the pharmaceutical, crop protection, and cosmetics industries to accelerate their research and development goals. Their solutions enable clients to perform rapid screening for novel mechanisms of action, target identification, and lead optimization, effectively addressing gaps where conventional chemical libraries have failed. The company is committed to high standards of animal welfare and biodiversity conservation, integrating these ethical practices into their research operations to provide reliable, consistent products that help translate complex venom science into practical applications for human healthcare and other industrial sectors.
