Fovea Pharmaceuticals SA
Fovea Pharmaceuticals SA Pharmaceuticals: MajorHealth Technology Fovea operates within the ophthalmic pharmaceutical market, which is expected to grow at a double-digit annual rate during the years to come. This growth is likely to be driven by new technologies and products, premium pricing facing no significant reimbursement issues, favorable trends (aging of the population, diabetes epidemiology and environmental factors) and dramatic expansion into the large and mostly untapped market for retinal degenerative diseases. With a limited number of players, the ophthalmology market has proved recently to be an early adopter of innovations, allowing new players to gain visibility very rapidly. During the last three years, Fovea has implemented this strategy, by acquiring products from large pharmaceutical or biotech companies and is actively developing them in four different indications. It has also integrated a unique drug discovery platform and has been able to identify one preclinical candidate and several interesting new targets. | Director/Board Member | - |
