The company will utilise the financing to develop a regenerative medicine platform that could substitute multiple types of cells that are destroyed by inherited and age-linked ocular ailments. 

Tenpoint Therapeutics CEO Eddy Anglade stated: “Cell-based therapeutics represent an ideal modality for degenerative ocular diseases since most vision loss results from damaged or missing tissue. 

“At Tenpoint, we are focused exclusively on the eye and on harnessing recent advances in regenerative biology to advance our therapies as we work to change the future for people with vision loss by addressing its underlying causes.”

The company is currently developing methods to create tailored ocular cell types ex vivo and in vivo.
