Spinout profile
Company description
VascVersa develops a stem cell retrieval method, allowing high potency cells to be obtained from small samples of umbilical cord blood, for use in regenerative medical research.
The company is currently an embryonic spin-out arising from the research of Dr Reinhold Medina. The initial customer discovery was funded through the Innovate UK ICURe programme and carried out by ECR Dr Christina O'Neill. As of March 19 the company is in a fund-raising and planning phase.
Project impact
The company is in early stages but we have managed to secure Innovate UK funding and private investment. The company has spun-out from QUB as a direct result of success in iCURE allowing a motivated post-doc to drive the company forward from the foundation of a successful academic research programme.
£42,500 was raised for the customer discovery and company set-up process from Innovate UK -ICURe programme. The company was invited to apply for £210K of non-dilutive Innovate UK funding (decision pending March 19)
