nanoTherics Ltd, a scientific medical devices company, was founded following cutting edge biomedical research conducted at Keele University and the University of Florida.

nanoTherics’s primary business is the supply of scientific devices and associated products to research laboratories, both in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and academia. Early sales demonstrate a strong market appetite for the solution presented by the patented technology which uses nanoparticles and magnetic fields to facilitate delivery of important molecules, such as DNA, into living cells . The medium to long-term opportunity for this approach relates to non-viral gene therapy, an area now demanding safe technology to treat genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
