Lovely writeup by University of Galway. Hooke Bio is excited to be working with Relevium Medical on the RestOAre project funded through DTIF call 7. Enterprise Ireland Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment #Disruptivetechnolgies
University of Galway spinout, Relevium Medical, has been awarded €4.6 million in Government funding to develop an immediate and long-lasting treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Relevium Medical secured the investment for their RestOAre project to develop therapies for debilitating chronic pain and disease progression of knee osteoarthritis. Research by University of Galway academics has played a key role in the project, including innovative pain modelling and drug screening, along with scientific analysis of biomolecules derived from marine organisms which target receptors in the knee. The funding was awarded through the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), which is managed by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and administered by Enterprise Ireland. It will support the development of a treatment that offers patients immediate long-lasting pain relief and reduced progression of knee osteoarthritis.
