Description:

Gameto is a biotechnology company whose mission is to redefine female reproductive health by developing therapies that improve lives. Women’s health is a vastly underserved therapeutic area. Most conditions have few treatment options, and those available often cause frequent complications and offer limited clinical benefit. Gameto aims to change that. Gameto is committed to using cutting-edge scientific advances to deliver better solutions to patients. Using cellular engineering, they have developed a platform to produce female reproductive cell lines. They use proprietary combinations of transcription factors to reprogram hiPSCs into engineered ovarian and endometrium cell lines that mimic the functions of endogenous cells, producing and responding to all hormones. Their team of cellular engineers is using this platform to advance a portfolio of cellular therapeutics for female reproductive diseases. Gameto's first program, Fertilo, is a therapeutic for IVF and egg freezing, aiming to make the process shorter, safer and more effective. Additional applications of our platform include, an organoid of the female reproductive system, Deovo, and a cell-based therapeutic to ameliorate the health consequences of primary ovarian insufficiency and menopause, Ameno.
