MediBeacon Inc. Overview
MediBeacon is a medical technology company specializing in the advances of fluorescent tracer agents and transdermal measurement to provide vital and actionable measurement of organ function. The Company’s technology has been used by the vast majority of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world as well as the leading academic medical centers for over a decade to assess kidney function in their preclinical research.
The Company’s management and employee base is highly motivated by the FDA approval of the Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) earlier this year. Employees in the Company have experience both in the entrepreneurial environment as well as in large medical device / pharmaceutical companies. MediBeacon Inc. was founded in 2012 to acquire the technology platform from Nellcor / Medtronic / Mallinckrodt and thus many of the employees come from these companies.
For more than a half a century physician’s practice of estimating kidney function in patients estimated GFR (eGFR) has not fundamentally changed. MediBeacon is poised to provide a first-in-kind solution for the assessment of kidney function at the point of care. The Transdermal GFR System (TGFR) is anticipated to be available in a Centers of Excellence early access program in Q4 2025.
