About HemoBioTech, Inc.
HemoBioTech, a Dallas-based biopharmaceutical company, is engaged in the development of HemoTech, a novel human blood substitute technology exclusively licensed from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. HemoTech is composed of bovine hemoglobin that is chemically modified with ATP, adenosine, and GSH. HemoTech not only can carry oxygen in the blood, but can also induce erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). The company believes that HemoTech, due to its novel structure, may possess properties that diminish the intrinsic toxicities which have plagued other attempts at developing blood substitutes, based upon pre-clinical and initial human clinical trials undertaken outside the U.S. by prior holders of this technology. HemoTech is being subjected to further studies and testing to confirm and possibly expand on these results. HemoTech is being developed to help reduce or eliminate the danger resulting from acute blood loss in trauma, as well as for other conditions.
