Our Story
Serigen, formerly known as BiolMed Innovations, is an innovation-driven, tissue regeneration products company, founded with the vision to become a global leader in biomedical devices. We leverage the materials science of natural silk proteins to develop novel biomedical products that serve the clinical needs of diverse patient communities. A brainchild of passionate scientists and innovators, Serigen originated as a spin-off from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, an esteemed research institute specialising in materials and chemicals based in India.
The name “Serigen” derives its inspiration from the Latin word “Seri,” which means “shiny” and serves as a synonymous term for “silk.” Silk is a fascinating natural material extracted from silkworm cocoons, with each cocoon containing a continuous thread that can span several kilometres.

Silk, a luxurious and radiant fabric, has dominated the textile industry for centuries. Additionally, silk threads have been utilized for suturing wounds for many decades, boasting a long history of safe medical application.
While India currently relies on imports for over 80% of its medical devices used in the healthcare sector, it is noteworthy that sericulture, the practice of silk agriculture, is a well-established industry in the country. India ranks as the second-largest global producer of silkworm silk, and the sericulture sector employs more than 8.6 million individuals. Serigen’s inception stemmed from the vision of bridging these two sectors and leveraging the existing strengths of silk production in India to develop cutting-edge biomedical products.
