We are a start-up focused on the design and preparation of custom-made photoactive molecules to be used in different biomedical applications, with a focus on vision restoration and degenerative diseases.
Expertise on photochromes
In the past 10+ years our lab developed a strong knowledge on different types of photochromes, giving us the ability to design and prepare molecules with different properties and features.
Focus on Biobased Research
We focused mainly on biological applications, developing strong partnership with different research labs that give us a deep understanding of the needs of researchers in life science.
Tailor made, just for you
We can work together to develop photochromic molecules tailored specifically on your needs, both in terms of targeting and photoactuation, depending on your desired application.
About us
We have a deep expertise in the design and preparation of photochromic materials aptly functionalized to interact with biological membranes. Specifically, we set a new paradigm in photopharmacology, and applied our materials to develop a low-invasive, non-genetic and outpatient protocol to treat degenerative diseases.
C.O.M.E.T has a strong know-how in the field to tackle technological and business issues, and an active collaboration with a team performing biomedical trials.
