Your innovative solution
UrgoTouch is the first preventive laser which significantly improves the post-operative scar aesthetic and functional results.
Today, there is no good way to prevent unsightly scars: there should be a solution that would give more control over the scar aesthetic and functional results.
1) Aesthetics surgeons and any surgeon looking to deliver a functional and aesthetic scar after surgery
2) Aesthetics dermatologists for small operations in their office
Key value proposition1) High level of research, development and clinical performance
2) Restoring patients former quality of life
3) Innnovative breakthrough for a large patient demand
4) Bring Urgo medical grade expertise in skin and healing to the aesthetic market
Mr OLIVE Guillaume
Business Development ManagerVentriNova, Inc.
VentriNova is a regenerative medicine company focused on reversing cardiac damage by activation of intrinsic repair pathways to generate de novo heart muscle cells. VentriNova’s first generation product is a gene therapy that delivers a critical mitotic regulator to diseased heart tissue to stimulate proliferation of cardiac muscle cells.
-
No technology on the market or in clinical development, including stem cell-based technologies and other regenerative medicine applications, has the ability to grow new heart muscle cells in the diseased heart.
-
VentriNova’s pioneering science and technology is centered on development of biologic and small molecule regulators of the cyclin A2 gene – the key switch mediating heart cell division.
-
VentriNova’s technology demonstrated in both small and large animals the ability to control the modulation (increased gene expression) of the cyclin A2 gene, therefore stimulating endogenous growth of new myocytes (heart muscle cells).
-
VentriNova’s VN-100 technology is the conductor that orchestrates existing human heart
cells to divide and regenerate themselves – a cellular function that is silenced in early human development.

Miss Sydney FLEURANCE
Project ManagerVisterra Inc.
Visterra is a biotechnology company that uses its proprietary Hierotope™ Platform to identify unique disease targets and design and engineer effective therapeutics. The company’s technology is powered by computational tools and techniques, the core of which is Atomic Interaction Network (AIN) analysis, which uniquely identifies an area, or epitope, on the target site that is fundamental to its structure and function. This ideal epitope, or hierotope, becomes the target against which the company designs a novel therapeutic to effectively and durably combat the disease.
The company is currently focused on therapeutics for infectious diseases, and its lead product candidate, VIS410, is a broad spectrum human monoclonal antibody for the prevention and treatment of both seasonal and pandemic influenza. The company’s second product candidate, VIS513, is a human monoclonal antibody for the treatment of dengue that has been shown to broadly neutralize all four dengue virus serotypes.

Your innovative solution
Our companion software embed patient-doctor connectivity and clinical intelligence into existing therapeutics or medical devices. We rely on our ISO-certified processes, medical algorithms and clinical studies of our software to create solutions that ensure safety and efficacy for our users.
People suffering from chronic diseases often find themselves lost in their treatment protocols once they leave the doctor's office. They lack a way of communicating with their health care teams and the support to take the appropriate dose of medication, manage symptoms and control side effects.
