Genetronics Incorporated

Genetronics is a drug delivery company specializing in developing technology and hardware which potentially will allow physicians more efficiently and cost-effectively to deliver life-saving drugs or beneficial genes to patients with catastrophic illnesses, including cancer and heart disease. Genetronics is the undisputed technology leader in electroporation, the application of very brief, carefully controlled, pulsed, rotating electric fields to human cells, a process that causes pores to open in the cell membrane and allows pharmaceuticals or genes to gain access to the cell’s interior.

Electroporation is a broad-based technology, with many ways to achieve commercial success. Genetronics is developing applications for this technology in the primary areas of oncology, cardiology, gene therapy, transdermal drug delivery and dermatology.
