About BioMimir
BioMimir is a pre-seed medical device start-up. They design, develop, and commercialize biomaterials solutions for regenerative medicine applications.
Their first product is a flexible, elastic hydrogel that functions as a wound sealant, wound filler, and tissue regenerating solution. The biomaterial is a biodegradable, non-toxic hydrogel whose elastic properties are tuneable to specific wounds and tissue types (e.g., skin, muscle, cornea).
BioMimir was accepted in the Life Sciences Fellowship in March 2022
