PolyVation into bioresorbable gel-forming polymers

PolyVation entered into a strategic collaboration with the company Branching Tree (founded by Mike de Leeuw and late Jorge Heller) resulting into a new company called InGell Labs. InGell is a large family of bioresorbable polymer systems that form hydrophilic gels in situ in men or animals. The water-borne injectable gels are intended for the controlled and sustained release of biotherapeutics.

InGell Labs is imbedded in the organization and facilities of PolyVation (chemistries) and InnoCore (formulations). PolyVation is responsible for the cGMP manufacturing and supply of the polymers.

Beyond the unique features of the gel-forming polymer systems for drug delivery many other opportunities are open to explore in the medical and cosmetic arena. PolyVation owns the rights for non-pharma applications and certain medicated devices and device coatings.

With this collaboration PolyVation expands her offering of unique bioresorbable polymers and technologies to the health & personal care market. Key are end-group modified ester-ether-ester triblockcopolymers and stereocomplexing dextranes. More information on the polymer systems will be published on our website soon.
