In the early 2000s, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine made a surprising discovery: after injury, cells dramatically increase production of an enzyme called FL2, which disrupts the very structures they need to move and repair tissue – microtubules. Instead of activating healing following trauma, the body was inadvertently limiting it.
This insight sparked two decades of investigation led by our CEO and Chief Science Officer, Dr. David Sharp — research that ultimately revealed a new biological path to regeneration.
The question was simple but groundbreaking:
What if healing didn’t require adding growth factors, stem cells, or permanent genetic modification? What if we could remove the molecular brake that prevents cells from repairing themselves?
MicroCures was built to turn that possibility into reality. Today, the company is translating foundational science into a platform of localized, temporary siRNA therapeutics designed to restore natural repair across multiple tissues.
To harness the power of science to unlock the body’s natural repair processes, delivering safe, transformative therapies that accelerate healing and restore quality of vision and quality of life.
Our mission guides every decision — from our choice of neurotrophic keratitis as our first indication, to our commitment to developing treatments that are effective, accessible, and designed for real-world patient needs.
We envision a future where patients around the world facing untreatable conditions and traumatic injuries can fully heal, regain function, and live without limits.
A future where regenerative medicine aligns with biology, not against it. A future defined by healing beyond limits.
Behind every breakthrough is a team driven by curiosity — and a deep respect for the biology we study. Whether it’s discovering the role of FL2 or watching cells “do cell things” under the microscope, our work begins with observing the remarkable machinery already built into the human body.
We call them cellfies — snapshots of cells in action that remind us why we do what we do.
