Total funding raised: $3M
Overview
Lynch Biologics is a commercial-stage biotechnology company specializing in growth-factor enhanced matrices for dental and periodontal regenerative surgery. Its core asset, GEM 21S®, is the first and only FDA-approved off-the-shelf source of purified rhPDGF-BB for bone and soft tissue regeneration in oral applications. The company leverages the body's natural healing mechanisms by delivering a key signaling protein to attract stem cells and stimulate angiogenesis. As part of Geistlich, it benefits from an expanded commercial footprint and shared expertise in regenerative solutions.
Technology Platform
Recombinant human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (rhPDGF-BB) combined with a beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold to actively stimulate chemotaxis, mitogenesis, and angiogenesis for bone and soft tissue regeneration.

Competitive Landscape
Operates in the competitive dental bone graft and regenerative materials market, competing against large players like Zimmer Biomet (Bio-Oss), Straumann (Emdogain), Dentsply Sirona, and Osteogenics. Its key differentiation is the purified, off-the-shelf rhPDGF-BB, competing against autologous platelet concentrates (PRF, PRP) which are variable, and other growth factors like BMP-2, which is used off-label in dentistry and has a different safety profile.
