Mr. Mario Reyes, General Manager of Full House S. A.

Mr. Mario Reyes Salinas, General Manager of our company, is the creative mind and founder of versatile and successful companies such as A-5 Biotechnical Chile –first biotechnology company–, Avance Biotechnologies S. A., SARH Bioindustrias S. A. and Full House – Science for Money S. A., all of them dedicated to innovation and development of cutting-edge products for biotechnology.

The wide international experience of Mr. Reyes as a researcher and member of scientific societies in the fields of research, purification, stabilization and application of enzymes has led him to make them a source of inspiration and development. His deep understanding of the enzyme micro and macromolecular functioning levels, together with his broad conceptualization of the basic and advanced sciences, have enabled him to create outstanding biotech products and to provide real answers with organic, safe and efficient solutions that highlighted in national and international markets. He also obtained invention patents in Europe, United States and Latin America.

Mr. Mario Reyes developed part of his current job as an international microbial chemistry consultant in Europe and Latin America. The developments of professor Reyes and his medical, pharmaceutical and chemical group primarily focus on the following areas:

  • Pharmaceutical prototypes:
    • Isolation of proteins that produces dystrophin for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
    • Chemicals for pain: Isolation of inhibiting factors for refractory chronic pain NSAID and/or opioid in cancer.
    • Biochemical anastomosis of neural connections for the conductivity restoration using enzymatic boosters.
    • Antitoxins.
  • Agriculture: Development of products based on mycotoxins (www.avancebt.com)
  • Aquaculture: Development of enzymatic products.
  • Metallurgy: Metal powders.
  • Biocosmetics: Currently generating an agreement in the marketing of biocosmetics.

UK Trade Mission, London – Birmingham, March 2010

Mr. Mario Reyes, General Manager of our company, was invited to represent Full House S. A. and Sarh Bioindustrias in an event organized by the British Embassy, InnovaChile (CORFO) and GrupoBios, as part of a commercial exchange program for companies dedicated to the use and development of biotechnologies in the food industry. The mission program included several dissemination visits whose aim was to create new business opportunities and leads for Chile and the United Kingdom as well as to introduce and strengthen commercial links between both markets.

The main focus of the trip was the progress and developments achieved in biotechnology in the agro and food industries through visits to public entities such as the laboratories of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) – UK government department responsible for policy and regulations on the environment, food and rural affairs, UKTI – the Department for the Promotion of Trade and Investment and the Biotechnology Department of University of Birmingham. Furthermore, meetings were held with relevant companies active in the area of biotechnologies, as well as an extensive visit to Foodex trade show and a presentation on IP protection – all the above aimed at introducing the Chilean participants to the varied and competitive market of biotechnology in Great Britain.

These activities offer better opportunities for technological exchanges and the creation of new business opportunities in the biotechnology market of which Full House S. A. is a leader and a reference point in the country.

More information on the trade mission and participants can be found at the website of the British Embassy in Santiago.

New multipurpose antidote for external use made by Full House for spider toxins

March 10, 2010

Brown Recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa)

Brown Recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa)

Full House has created a new multipurpose external use antidote for spider toxins which prevents tissue proteolysis and the spread of the poison.

The biotechnological base of this antidote includes the recognition of more than six enzymes that make up the poison of the Loxosceles species which cause the permeability of the plasmatic membrane, connective tissue degradation, protein hydrolysis and dermal necrosis.

The poison can invade blood vessels spreading to different organs and causing serious system problems that potentially can lead to kidney failure, comma, hypotension, haemolytic anaemia and liver failure which, in turn, can cause death.

Full House does a poison extraction protocol which avoids electrostimulation of the arachnid, called Voluntary Poison Extraction thanks to which the extracted aliquot is more natural and allows to create more effective antidotes.

On March 9 Marisa, one of the most popular singers of the New Wave culture trend in Chile, visited our company. Her performances and tours won her the Silver Seagull Prize (Gaviota de Plata) at the International Viña del Mar Festival. In 1964 she achieved one of her biggest successes with a version of Antonio Zabaleta´s song “Tú cambiarás”. Currently, she keeps on singing and performing a popular repertoire with famous songs such as “Llorando en el andén”, “Luna lunera”, “Si me miran a los ojos” and “Ruego”, among others.

Recently Marisa put together her best songs on a promotional disc and presented it at our laboratory.

Full House staff members thanks to Marisa for her visit and wish her the best of luck in achieving the success she deserves.

The Aquaculture Biotechnology Node carried out on Thursday, 12 November, 2009 in Puerto Montt (Los Lagos Region) a training course on pathology “Saprolegnia, New Control Tools” related to this parasite-based disease present in fresh water. The activity began with the presentation of Mario Reyes, Technical Director of Full House and BioSarh biotechnology laboratory, who presented a summary of biotechnology in aquaculture.

Subsequently, Mr. Bruno Grossi, a representative of Full House, indicated that the Saprolegnia is responsible for more than 50 % of Coho salmon deaths in Japan and Chile, and between 15 % and 25 % of the deaths of its ova.

Moments later, Mr. Mario Reyes Acuña explained the characteristics of Bioshave, “It’s a biological enzymatic additive that biodegrades cellulose and chitin present in the cellular wall of the Saprolegnia sp. This compound is a two-phase natural origin liquid that, according to studies that have been carried out, is neither poisonous nor bio-cumulative and breaks the walls of the pathogen without causing resistance. It is recommended to apply 1-hour Bioshave baths although its efficiency has been verified at 20 minutes application. The recommended dose is 40 ml to 65 ml per m3 depending on the conditions of the culture, prior shaking of the product and dilution in 20 l of water”.

Before the course, a workshop was offered on “Public & Private Support Tools” dictated by Gastón Maltrain, excutive of InnovaChile. Mr. Maltrain presented different support tools for companies, individual business financing and Law 20.241 on CORFO Tax Incentives for private Research and Development.
