Jouan Biotechnologies

Pierre Jouan Biotechnologies SA was a French biotechnology company specializing in the extraction and purification of bioactive proteins from dairy sources, particularly milk and whey. Founded in the early 2000s by researcher Pierre Jouan and colleagues from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), the company developed proprietary methods for isolating Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta) in its activated form. These protein fractions were targeted for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcers and gastritis, and tissue repair. The company's technology utilized advanced microfiltration and diafiltration processes to produce highly enriched protein powders for therapeutic and nutritional applications.
