AURIMOD is a 2015 founded start-up launched by a highly experienced and interdisciplinary team from academia, medicine and engineering. We focus on product development and applied biomedical/clinical research in the field of wearable electro-medical devices for percutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation.We develop innovative therapies for personalized pain management based on electrical stimulation. The targeted stimulation modulates sensory fibers of the vagus nerve in the ear. This minimal-invasive pain therapy has successfully been proven its clinical efficacy and effectiveness.Auricular vagus nerve stimulation is a non-pharmacological pain treatment with sustainable effects. Our highly innovative concept of stimulation allows for an optimized and individual therapy even for otherwise treatment resistant patients.

Syconium Lactic Acid GmbH (SLA) has the goal to develop a production process for lactic acid operating at significantly lower costs compared to currently established production processes. Therefore SLA combines the newest knowhow in metabolic engineering and genetics of yeast strains with innovative approaches in bioprocess engineering to maximize the production rate of lactic acid. The product of SLA is a novel proprietary production solution for lactic acid composed of a novel yeast strain and an aligned production process. SLA sees itself as a link between cutting edge scientific innovation and the large-scale industrial production.
