Description:
Histogen, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company which utilizes one core technology process to produce two unique product families. ReGenica is a liquid complex and ExCeltrix is an insoluble human extracellular matrix. These products are developed through a proprietary bioreactor process that simulates the embryonic environment, and therefore contain the characteristics and substances of young, rapidly developing tissue. Unique commercialization opportunities exist in various markets and segments of the life science industry, ranging from a cosmetic additive to research tools, hernia repair patches to oncology treatments and a potential homerun product application for hair growth. Product introduction coincides with FDA regulatory requirements and is classified into short term, midterm, and long term products. Histogen offers a unique opportunity to investors to make an early-stage investment where risk is reduced and timelines to commercialization are accelerated.
