About

We’re a talented group of scientists and entrepreneurs, but we are also people just like you, with loved ones who suffer from diabetes. Like you, we've been discouraged at the lack of progress being made in treatments for the disease. We created MelliCell to solve that unmet need. Our focus is at the cellular level, to understand and treat the root cause of diabetes, rather than treat symptoms. With our knowledge and background, we are working to create a product that delivers better treatments and overall improved health.
