HairClone is a regenerative medicine company developing two personalised therapies using the patient's own cultured hair cells to treat androgenic alopecia in men and women. It was founded by a group of leading scientists, clinicians and biotechnologist with proven track record in developing commercial cell therapies that have treated about 1 million patients. The lead treatment aims to rejuvenate thinning hairs for patients when they first notice hair loss, the second treatment aims to regenerate brand new hair follicles for patients with extensive hair loss. These treatments could dramatically revolutionise the market by filling the unmet needs of women with female pattern baldness, men for whom it is too early in the balding process for hair transplantation to be recommended and patients who need greater coverage than can be achieved by transplantation. In 2018 HairClone will launch the world's first hair follicle banking service which will allow patients to store a small number of hair follicles for future expansion. We are collaborating with leading scientists to develop systems that expand hair follicle cells in culture and maintain their follicle inducing potential. We have an expanding clinical partner network of leading hair transplant surgeons around the world who are providing non dilutive co-funding and a deep clinical know how and expertise, linking us to patients for both banking and later treatment.

Our team

The team have been founders, CEOs and Directors at multiple Public and Private Biotechs in the US, EU and UK. We have developed cell based products that have treated approx. one million people and our Medical Directors have performed over 7,000 hair transplants. We have extensive clinical and regulatory experience and have been involved in the design and operation of over 20 clinical trials around the world including the world's first trial using cultured hair follicle cells.
