Medicortex Finland

Medicortex Finland is dedicated to improving the diagnostics and treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Current focus is on the development of biomarker diagnostics to detect concussion and TBI. Once the development of the diagnostic kit is more advanced, the next goal is to expand the program to the development of an innovative drug to halt the aggravation of brain injury.

Medicortex Finland Oyj was founded in June 2014 as a BioTurku member; it is located in Werstas bioincubator in the heart of Turku Science Park. The company has received funding from Business Finland, Horizon-2020 innovation grant, the Finnish ELY-center (The Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment), three times from the United States Department of Defense as well as from private investors.

Our nearest aim is to develop a handheld quick diagnostic kit for detection of TBIs. The kit is based on the proprietary biomarker we have studied in several clinical studies.
