Overview
GenNext Technologies is a private company founded in 2016, commercializing an innovative platform for protein structural analysis. Its core Fox technology enables high-resolution, in-solution mapping of protein-protein interactions, epitopes, and conformational changes, which is crucial for developing safe and effective biologics, including AI-discovered candidates. The company operates a hybrid business model, selling its automated AutoFox system and FoxWare software while also offering fee-for-service structural biology studies. Strategic collaborations with major players like Thermo Fisher, Agilent, and SCIEX position it to become a key enabler in modern structural biology workflows.
Technology Platform
Fox® Protein Footprinting platform using hydroxyl radicals for residue-level analysis of protein higher-order structure and dynamics in solution. Includes the automated AutoFox® benchtop instrument and FoxWare® data analysis software.

Competitive Landscape
GenNext competes with providers of established protein HOS analysis techniques, primarily Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) offered by companies like Waters Corporation and specialized CROs. It also competes with other biophysical methods (SPR, BLI, CD) and synchrotron-based footprinting services. Its differentiation lies in automation, resolution in complex matrices, and direct measurement of solvent accessibility.
