BACKGROUND
Vitropep was created after an incubation in the Genopole Shaker program. Its technology is based on the scientific research of the founder.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS / SERVICES / TECHNOLOGY
Vitropep offers a patch of soluble microneedles made from therapeutic peptides for pain-free, dangerous waste-free and effortless intradermal injection. The aim is to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes.
CUSTOMER REFERENCES / COLLABORATIONS / HIGHLIGHTS
Vitropep completed the physicochemical proof of concept by fabricating various microneedles and testing their cell viability. Pharmacokinetic tests will start on two target therapeutic peptides while moving forward on a standardized patch. A first patent application has been filed. Vitropep has a collaboration with the CEA and also won Novo Nordisk Golden ticket.
