Company Profile Q Chip was formed in 2003 to exploit breakthrough microparticle and microfluidic technologies developed at Cardiff University. The company has rapidly established itself as one of the leading developers of delivery systems for the new advanced therapeutics of the post-Genomics age. These systems revolve around proprietary PolyQules, combining drug with polymer to form solid microparticles which can be delivered intact for controlled release and improved efficacy.
Q Chip’s Rational PolyQule Design approach enables customisation for widespread applications. Potential development programmes in CNS, Oncology and Endocrine Disorders have already been identified. Initial opportunities are being exploited in healthcare consumer products. Located in Cardiff and London, the company generates substantial additional revenues from service contracts. |
