About Eqalix:
Eqalix, Inc. is an emerging biotechnology development company with a goal of enhancing the quality of life of consumers and patients by providing novel nano-materials for the repair and regeneration of diseased, traumatized, and aging tissues. Their innovative technologies are intended to revolutionize the unmet needs in multiple commercial and therapeutic applications in the Regenerative Medicine space. Connell says: "Our technologies move the bar higher and intend to replicate the function of damaged, diseased or aging tissues by providing "implants" or scaffolds that are non-immunogenic, bio-compatible, and are intended to restore the features and function of the damaged tissue by using the body's own repair mechanisms that will either replace the implant with its own tissue, or transform the implant so it is seen by the body as a natural extension of it.."

Eqalix has received exclusive commercial licensing from three prominent institutions (University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) for several groundbreaking technologies to be developed in the fields of aesthetic dermatology, the consumer market for wound treatments, acute and chronic wounds requiring skin replacement, vascular replacements, and to repair traumatic damage to peripheral nerves.

Using these technologies, Eqalix plans to develop and commercialize:

(a) plant-protein based nano-fiber scaffold for use in aesthetic dermatology and wound healing markets

(b) small- diameter hybrid vessels that foster the creation of a functional endothelium after implantations

(c) 3-Dimensional tissue scaffolds with adjustable properties for organ and tissue replacement and repair
