Medgenics, Inc.

Medgenics is developing a unique sustained-action therapeutic protein delivery technology for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases. The technology – called a “Biopump” – is made from the patient’s own skin and is implanted in a simple procedure to work inside the patient’s body, to produce and deliver the active protein steadily over a sustained period to treat the targeted disease. Medgenics believes that this biological approach can replace a major portion of the regular and costly injections of therapeutic proteins patients currently receive.
