Retrotope

Founded in 2006 by entrepreneurs and scientists with seed funding from private investors, Retrotope is developing a non-antioxidant approach to preventing lipid peroxidation, a detrimental factor in mitochondrial, neuronal, and retinal diseases. The company employs the virtual business model and works in scientific collaboration with more than 80 research groups in universities worldwide.
