Our team consists of experienced scientists and entrepreneurs who are passionate about cancer therapeutic and are dedicated to achieving our mission.
Our Technology
Vitanova Biomedical has developed a proprietary energy-based biotechnology to elicit cancer-specific intracellular acidosis. The foundation of VNB’s core technology, called Light-Activated Intracellular Acidosis, combines three proven principles accepted in today’s cancer therapeutics:
- Intracellular acidosis kills cancer cells
- Compounds can be activated by specific wavelengths of light.
- Nanoparticles can be actively targeted to only cancer using antibody/antigen conjugation
