MedCity
MedCity is the life sciences cluster organisation for London and the greater south east of England, set up in 2014 by the Mayor of London and the region’s three Academic Health Science Centres. They are funded by the Greater London Authority and Research England, and as a not-for-profit are able to act as a neutral and independent convener across industry, academia and the public sector.
London and the greater south east is home to a rich life sciences cluster, with more than 3,400 life sciences companies, four of the world’s top ten universities, 19 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies and world class research centres including The Francis Crick Institute, Harwell Oxford and The Sanger Institute.
MedCity's ambition is for their region to be the unequivocal place of choice for world-leading health and life sciences innovation, R&D, manufacture and commercialisation.
Medherant
Medherant is developing a pipeline of products for pain and neurology indications, based on our next-generation TEPI-Patch® transdermal drug technology. Our first product – Ibuprofen TEPI Patch – entered the clinic in 2018.
Key advantages of the TEPI Patch® technology over current technologies are the high payload and very efficient release of drug. This enables lower potency drugs to be formulated as a patch and provides the opportunity to increase the dose of drugs already administered via a patch whilst also minimising the residual drug after use.
The TEPI Patch® also provides a better experience for the user as it does not leave a residue around the patch – referred to as ‘cold flow’ – and has excellent adhesion whilst still being easy and painless to remove. No organic solvents are involved in this drug-in-adhesive system.
As well as developing our own products, Medherant offers pharma companies rapid feasibility studies using our proprietary high throughput permeation study system to develop transdermal formulations of their drugs of interest.
