Lipidosa Project: advancing oral delivery of challenging APIs with tetraetherlipid formulations.

Lipidosa Project Kick-Off

We are excited to announce the start of our Lipidosa Project in colaboration with Joanneum Graz, running from July 2025 to June 2027, focused on the pharmacological characterization of tetraetherlipid formulations for oral administration.

One of the greatest challenges in drug development is ensuring that active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) reach their target in the body at the right place, in the right dosage, and at the right time.

While oral administration is the most conveniat, and most preferred route for patients, many promising APIs face critical limitations: degradation in the harsh environment of the digestive tract or insufficient absorption across the intestinal barrier. These issues lead to poor bioavailability, preventing their full therapeutic potential from being realized.

Through Lipidosa, NovoArc aims to unlock new possibilities for stable and efficient oral drug delivery by leveraging our unique tetraetherlipid technology.

D2R Project Spotlight: NovoArc contributing lipid innovation for next-generation mRNA vaccine delivery.

NovoArc Joins D2R Project Spotlight Collaboration

We are proud to announce our participation in the D2R Project Spotlight, a collaborative effort with leading researchers from McGill University, Dalhousie University, the University of Calgary, and RNA Technologies and Therapeutics.
This project focuses on the development of a rapid antigen identification platform, with the aim of accelerating next-generation mRNA vaccine development and enabling faster responses to emerging infectious diseases an urgent need that remains highly relevant in the post-COVID era.
As part of this initiative, NovoArc contributes its lipid-based formulation technology to advance innovative solutions for efficient mRNA vaccine delivery.
