Needle-free, patient-friendly
peptide delivery

Vitropep stabilizes biologically active peptides as molecular glasses and formulates them into painless, dissolvable microneedles for improved patient compliance 

The Challenge with Peptide Therapeutics

Needles required

most peptides can only be given by injection

Low patient compliance

painful, anxiety-inducing, especially with repeated use.

High costs, high waste

cold chain logistics and hazardous sharps drive up expense and environmental burden.
