R&D Project Manager

About Panther

Panther is unlocking the power of the skin, the body’s largest, most responsive, and universally accessible immune organ, to deliver better health for all. Panther’s proprietary dissolvable microneedle array patch (MAP) technology delivers minute doses of thermostabilized treatments to precise locations below the skin’s surface.  There, the skin’s rich immune network activates systemic responses with improved efficacy and fewer side effects than current treatments. Panther’s solid-state treatments eliminate cold chain and sharps cost and complexity and its user-centric engineering enables direct patient and clinician interactions. 

Panther Life Sciences Corporation is applying the skin’s unique immune properties and advanced engineering to deliver shelf-stable, patient-centric, data-centric treatments to any/all consumers globally. Akin to Netflix in the media/content sector, Panther is partnering with and making its platform available to Pharma, Biotech, Cosmetics, and other firms to deliver a comprehensive pipeline of treatments in Panther’s microarray patch (MAP) application format.
