Kuros Biosciences
Kuros Biosciences AG is a Swiss-based company focused on the development of innovative products for tissue repair and regeneration. Founded in 2000 as a spin-off of the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ), Kuros has developed a pipeline of products based upon its proprietary technology platforms. These platforms were developed from work carried out at ETHZ, at the University of Zürich and at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). In addition, in early 2017 Kuros acquired Xpand Biotechnology to gain access to its MagnetOs family of bone graft substitutes and the associated surface science technology. Kuros has attractive commercial prospects in key market segments as well as an EU hub for future clinical and distribution operations. The company is in transition to commercial stage with one product having marketing approval in the EU and US and further product expected to achieve EU approval this year. MagnetOs is approved for sale in the EU for orthopedic, spine and dental applications, and in the US for posterolateral spinal fusion. In addition, a putty formulation is being prepared for submission in the EU and the US in the second half of this year. Neuroseal, a novel biomaterial for dural sealing, is Kuros’ second product and currently under review for CE marking in the EU. Kuros has also assembled a pipeline of clinical stage programs in various stages of development and amassed significant clinical and preclinical data in a number of indications and applications primarily in the area of orthobiologics. The Company has enrolled over 600 patients in multinational clinical trials, and has generated promising safety and efficacy in a number of significant indications.

Neurosoft Bioelectronics is developing next-generation soft implantable electrodes to interface with the nervous system. Neural implants are medical devices made of electrodes that can record or stimulate the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves to monitor or treat patients suffering from neurological disorders. However, current clinical devices are too stiff compared to the soft tissues of the body, which limits benefits for patients. At Neurosoft Bioelectronics, we have developed a new generation of soft and conformable implantable electrodes that seamlessly interface with the nervous tissues and can improve clinical outcomes for patients.
