SPINNAKER BIOSCIENCES

Spinnaker Biosciences is developing porous silicon, porous silicon oxide, and porous silicon/polymer composite materials with uniquely designed optical, chemical, and structural features that make ideal controlled release drug delivery vehicles. Porous silicon has been successfully used in vivo owing to its inherent biocompatibility and biodegradable nature. Additionally, the large porous volume of these particles allows for protected storage and sustained delivery of a therapeutic payload while the versatile surface chemistry enables incorporation of targeting moieties such as peptides, antibodies, or encapsulating biopolymers. Preclinical animal studies have demonstrated these silicon-based particles to be biocompatible and biodegradable with a dissolution profile that matches the drug release profile... Nano porous silicon particles for controlled release drug delivery for the treatment of ocular diseases such AMD and for application to oncology
