Start-up company CapCo Bio
Non-viral multilayered polymer assemblies as a gene delivery system for biomedical applications
Start-up mission
Our mission is to empower scientists in industry and academia by delivering innovative, high-quality, and reliable biomolecule delivery solutions.
Project description
CapCo Bio's Nanocapsules are the state-of-the-art nanocarrier platform for safe, efficient, and intracellular drug and gene delivery. It works as a 100% synthetic, biodegradable biomimetic of extracellular vesicles, providing 100% control of the nanocapsules' shell composition. The applications range from a simple transfection up to challenging techniques, including theranostics, cancer treatment, vaccine delivery and cell- and gene therapy.
