Cosa fa dNovo

At dNovo, we are curing hair loss by creating new hair, de novo. We are doing this with cellular reprogramming technology that we pioneered at Stanford and Harvard. With this technology, we can take any patient derived cell, whether it be blood, skin or fat and reprogram (convert) them into medically relevant cell types. Our first objective is to cure hair loss by using our reprogramming technology to make new hair (patent pending). This is different from everything currently available on the market because the hair loss industry is focused on maintaining the hair that you already have, but no one is trying to produce NEW hair, de novo. After hair, we envision using our cellular reprogramming technique to make any cell, any tissue or any organ on demand to replace what is lost as we age.

The cure for hair loss.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a therapy that creates new hair entirely from patient-derived cells using cellular reprogramming. Unlike treatments that only preserve existing hair, we generate new hair follicles from blood, skin, or fat cells to cure hair loss. This same technology could later make any cell or tissue on demand to address aging.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and are based in San Jose, CA, and the company would remain headquartered here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Jose has a strong biotech and medical research ecosystem, plus proximity to Stanford where the technology originated. Staying here keeps us close to key resources and collaborators.
