Supercharging cancer treatment

for the most resilient tumors

About Us

StimOxyGen

For over 15 years, scientists at Ulster University have been developing stimulus responsive therapeutic systems, primarily to address the adverse effects associated with the use of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. During those studies, the benefits of providing a transient, in situ source of molecular oxygen during therapy became abundantly clear and it was out of this that StimOxyGen was born.

Technology

The Challenge

In solid tumours the development of hypoxia leads to enhanced tumour survival and decreased efficacy of cancer treatments such as radiotherapy, some forms of chemotherapy and emerging sensitiser-based approaches that depend on oxygen for maximum efficacy.

​ Addressing tumour hypoxia remains a clinical unmet need.

Our Solution

Coated in a pH sensitive polymer, StimOxyGen is a nanoparticle formulation that dissolves at low pH and transiently generates oxygen in hypoxic tumours, thereby addressing one of the major bottlenecks to successful treatment of solid tumours.

StimOxyGen has the ability to carry additional therapeutic payloads on the polymer coating.
