Science crowdfunding project VitaDAO has launched Matrix Biosciences, seeded with $300,000 and future funding via IP-NFT fractionalization.
VitaDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization dedicated to funding and advancing early-stage longevity research, has launched its first biotech firm Matrix Biosciences.
An initial tranche of $300,000 from VitaDAO will be made available to Matrix Bio, followed by additional funding through IP-NFT fractionalization in early 2024 — non-fungible tokens intended to represent intellectual property. VitaDAO is part of a nascent movement known as decentralized science or DeSci. In contrast to the current system, which relies on centralized bodies for research and funding, DeSci aims to source research investment through crowdfunding initiatives and decentralized ownership.The funds will be used for preclinical studies testing novel hyaluronic acid-based compounds found in long-living cancer-resistant naked mole rats.
“Thanks to the collective drug development experience from VitaDAO’s online community and the collaborative nature and expertise of Dr. Gorbunova and the Matrix Biosciences team, we now have a well-designed development strategy in an area that has traditionally lacked the know-how or an established path,” VitaDAO company builder Dr. Anthony Schwartz added. “We are pleased with the early data generated thus far and its potential for advancing into clinical trials.
