Advancing Drug Delivery with Silicon Nanoparticles

Nacamed AS is a pharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative silicon-based nanoparticles designed to enhance drug delivery systems. Our proprietary technology focuses on creating tailor-made, porous silicon nanoparticles that improve the efficacy and safety of various therapeutic agents

Our platform currently supports partners in:

  • Drug delivery challenges

  • Controlling in vivo hydrogen release

The technology behind

The Nacamed technology is based on a new and unique type of nanoparticles that can advance the delivery of medicines. The aim is to maximize medical effects while minimizing side-effects by using our cutting-edge silicon-based drug delivery platform, suitable for several therapy areas and administration routes. This is done by controlling the delivery of small molecules as well as biopharmaceutics.

The advantages of our technology include precise control of the particle synthesis using a unique bottom-up technology with various control parameters. This allows production of particles with the desired properties for the application on interest.

Why work with us

When collaborating with Nacamed, you can start with a simple, initial feasibility study and progress to a full development program for a new product.

With the Nacamed platform you can:

  • Create new product opportunities

  • Administer difficult-to-administer products

  • Extend and manage life-cycle of existing products

  • Differentiate from competitors

  • Obtain additional IPR for low-IPR products

Partners and collaborations

Nacamed is always looking for new academic collaborations; principally within in vitro and in vivo studies in established models.

Nacamed is also interested in commercial collaborations with other pharmaceutical companies including potential new drug candidates and super generic drug products.
