A collaboration at the origin…

In early 2015, a fortuitous meeting of two distinct scientific fields, marine biology and human genetics, took place in a unique location, the Monaco Scientific Center (CSM), the Principality’s academic research structure, specialized in the study of coral reef ecosystems for nearly 60 years.

The complementary nature of these two fields of expertise has helped the development of cross-disciplinary projects by pooling their respective knowledge and know-how. Biotechnology has thus been put at the service of marine biology to produce a first coral molecule in order to explore its structural and functional properties. It is in this multidisciplinary context that this first product, originating from the Mediterranean red coral, unexpectedly showed innovative skin protection properties, now protected by a patent.

… of the creation of a start-up !

The field was now open for the exploration of many other molecules from corals and their associated organisms. It is quite naturally that the idea of valorizing the results of marine research through the creation of a commercial activity was born during 2017. One year later, in September 2018, Coraliotech was officially registered in the Principality of Monaco to carry out this incredible scientific, technological, economic and ecological challenge.

With a pilot development laboratory, Coraliotech is progressively enriching its pipeline of coral products to meet the various expectations of the wellness, care and health markets. The company is proud to have the CSM as an official associate of Coraliotech, thus guaranteeing the seriousness and validity of our technological and economic activities.
