BioNexus Gene Lab Strikes Strategic Deal to Accelerate BirchBioMed’s FS2 Cream Launch in Southeast Asia
Strategic Equity Exchange to Drive FS2 Commercialization
BioNexus Gene Lab Corp (NASDAQ:BGLC) announced a significant move Monday morning, signing a non-binding strategic partnership term sheet with BirchBioMed Inc., a Canadian firm focused on regenerative and autoimmune therapeutics. The highlight: BGLC will take the lead on Birch’s upcoming $10 million financing round through a creative equity exchange designed to fast-track the launch of Birch’s FS2 (kynurenic acid) topical platform in Southeast Asia.
Key Terms: Unique Equity Swap and Market Access Collaboration
The partnership proposal calls for BGLC to issue common shares equal to 4.99% of its outstanding stock to Birch, positioning Birch as the lead investor in BGLC’s round. In turn, BGLC will receive 1.5 million common shares of BirchBioMed. The collaboration also extends well beyond funding, with BGLC set to provide market intelligence, clinical-trial support, and guidance on navigating Southeast Asian regulatory pathways. BGLC will leverage its infrastructure to assist Birch in securing commercialization partners for the FS2 cream, targeting scar and fibrosis management in Malaysia and Singapore.

Deal Shows Commitment to Regional Innovation in Regenerative Medicine
According to BGLC CEO Sam Tan, the partnership fits with the company’s strategic goal of bringing innovative, clinically validated therapies to Asia. For BirchBioMed, whose flagship FS2 cream targets a growing market in dermal fibrosis and scar reduction, the alliance with BGLC promises local expertise and critical distribution channels.
What Should Investors Watch Next?
Although the term sheet is currently non-binding—with only exclusivity and confidentiality provisions effective for the next 60 days—this development positions BGLC at the forefront of new therapeutic technologies in Southeast Asia. Both sides aim to negotiate definitive terms and meet regulatory milestones in the coming months. If finalized, this partnership could be a notable catalyst for BGLC’s expansion in precision therapeutics and for BirchBioMed’s first regional market entry for its FS2 platform.
For now, the collaboration signals both firms’ commitment to innovation in regenerative medicine. Investors will want to keep an eye on updates about regulatory filings, partner selection, and progress on closing a definitive agreement, as these could provide further clarity on BGLC’s growth trajectory in Asia’s rapidly evolving healthcare market.
