Antidote is a digital health company on a mission. Our aim is to accelerate breakthroughs in potentially life-saving treatments by bridging the gap between medical research and the people who need it. “In a world where 80% of clinical trials are delayed or closed due to lack of awareness, we use cutting-edge technology to match the right patients with the right trials. We’re helping medical researchers make progress, faster – and offering new treatment options to patients in need.”

Aegle Therapeutics Corp. is a first in class, Phase 1/2a ready, biotechnology company isolating extracellular vesicles (“EVs”) from allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells to treat severe dermatological conditions, including burns and epidermolysis bullosa (“EB”), a rare pediatric connective tissue disorder, and to prevent scarring. Aegle’s EV therapy, using its proprietary platform isolation technology, has the potential to demonstrate a safer, lower cost means of harnessing the regenerative healing power of stem cells. Aegle believes its therapy has the potential for functional regeneration and organization of complex tissue structures that can enhance healing, reduce scarring, minimize contraction and improve overall cosmesis.
