AesculaTech 做什么

AesculaTech believes in building better lives through smart chemistry. We design custom smart materials for a range of biomedical, commercial, and industrial applications. Our platform technology, AesculaGel offers adaptive response to a wide range of stimuli and can be tailor-made for biocompatibility, material strength, and a range of other attributes. Founded by one of MIT's 35 under 35 Innovators, AesculaTech is the shared vision of scientists, engineers, and medical experts. Our cornerstone product, Humidifeye, is an ophthalmic platform to treat dry eye disease. Dry eye affects more than 25 million Americans and the global treatment market is projected higher than $6 Billion within the next decade. Our thermally responsive, form-fitting materials are suitable for sustained yet reversible occlusion across a range of treatment times. In contrast to existing technologies, our product will not extrude, or cause discomfort as it adapts to patients. Though Humidifeye is not yet FDA approved, expect to hear about it soon! In coordination with partners across several sectors, we have a variety of groundbreaking technologies in the works that live up to our vision. This work has already been recognized. AesculaTech was named a Rosenman Innovator, received a National Science Foundation I-Corps grant, was a finalist in the 2019 Octane High Tech Awards, and is a graduate of both the Y Combinator and TMCx accelerator programs. In short, Y-Combinator was only the beginning.

Responsive materials, better lives.

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

We make AesculaGel, a smart, adaptive material platform that responds to stimuli and can be tailor-made for strength and biocompatibility. Our lead product, Humidifeye, uses these materials for sustained, comfortable treatment of dry eye disease by providing thermally responsive, form-fitting occlusion that adapts to patients instead of causing discomfort or extrusion like current options.

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

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and we would continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is our home base with access to local medical experts and manufacturing partners. Staying here keeps our team close and connected to the relevant biomedical ecosystem.
