Co-Founder & Chief Commercial Officer (Cco)
CurrentLaunched in 2019, Mussel Polymers Inc (MPI) is developing a disruptive and high value advanced material technology. Inspired by nature, this multi-functional biomimetic material was developed by studying the natural adhesive produced by mussels. In addition to having the unique capability to strongly adhere to a variety of wet and underwater surfaces, our materials can deliver a number of beneficial and highly desired biological effects such as inducing tissue remineralization, enabling the proliferation of stem cells, and reducing inflammation. We have delivered several third party validated proof of concepts in solutions ranging from coral reef restoration to next generation dental care. We have active opportunities and projects in the defense, biomedical, and composites industries, among others. Our solutions have been found to bond to notoriously difficult surfaces such as wet zirconia, silicon, and carbon fiber. We welcome opportunities to work with partners to solve wet adhesion challenges in high value applications.
