The new facilities are focused on advanced delivery systems, including liposomes and micellar formulations

Molecules Biolabs, a 4-year-old Thrissur-based company, has opened a state-of-the-art Global Innovation Centre with an investment of Rs 8 crore at Kinfra Industrial Park in Koratti, where their primary innovation activities for nutraceuticals take place.

The new facilities are focused on advanced delivery systems, including liposomes and micellar formulations, to improve the bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds for the food and nutraceutical industries. 

Vishnuraj P, Director, Department of Commerce and Industry (DIC), Government of Kerala, inaugurated the centre in the presence of Saneeshkumar Joseph, MLA and Sheeba, GM, DIC, reflecting the commitment of the Government of Kerala to nurturing innovation.

Dr Sreeraj Gopi, Founder, Managing Director, Molecules Biolabs, said, “What started years ago as a dream — with nothing more than my brother’s car serving centre with an area of 1,000 sq. ft. lab as our first office — has now grown into reality: the inauguration of the Molecules Global Innovation Centre with a 35,000 sq. ft. facility at Kinfra, the largest dedicated facility for liposomal research in Asia.”

He further said, “The most moving part for me was witnessing people come together from across the US, Europe, the Middle East, Chile, and India — making Koratty a new global hub for liposomal science. I remain forever grateful to my mentors and Prof. Józef Haponiuk (Poland), whose constant encouragement shaped this journey. Today, our Molecules family has already grown to 45 passionate scientists, and soon we will cross 100+ brilliant minds united by one mission: building a global liposomal village right here in Kerala.”

Molecules Biolabs, which operates in the nutraceutical and functional food industries, is a leading player in Liposomal technology: Advanced formulation and delivery of bioactive compounds; Micellar formulations: Another technique to enhance the delivery of compounds and SEDDS (Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems): Used to increase the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.
