The two-year, $1.5 million award will support ongoing development of the company’s lead product candidate, siFi2.  siFi2, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic that can be applied topically, is designed to enhance recovery after trauma. This Phase 2 grant continues the company’s successful Phase 1 SBIR contract which demonstrated significantly improved repair of burn wounds following treatment with siFi2 in animal models. MicroCures’ technology is based on foundational scientific research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine regarding the fundamental role that cell movement plays as a driver of the body’s innate capacity to repair tissue, nerves, and organs. The company has developed a broad pipeline of therapeutic programs with an initial focus in the area of tissue, nerve and organ repair.
