Norwalk, CT - April 12, 2023 - LifeSpan Vision Ventures today announced an investment in EpiBone. EpiBone is a regenerative medicine company that is developing technology to create living bone and cartilage grafts from mesenchymal stem cells in vitro for use in orthopedic repair. The Company hopes to commercially launch its bone graft product with its first therapeutic application, for craniomaxillofacial repair, in the next two years. Longer-term EpiBone expects to launch its cartilage products for use in joints like the knee.
Andrew Worden, Founding Partner of LifeSpan Vision Ventures, stated, “Our investment in EpiBone is within our mission foci of using advanced tech to treat diseases of aging. The Company has started tackling a beachhead market in facial repair, and in the future hopes to focus on aging related joint wear, commonly seen in places like the knee. EpiBone’s current focus is on bone and cartilage indications, but their platform technology has great promise for repair throughout the body. We are excited to support such a talented team of pioneers in the biotechnology space, and look forward to seeing how they fundamentally change the landscape of orthopedic repair.”
