Half of couples struggling with infertility are struggling because of male infertility, yet there has been no innovation in this space for 30 years. Paterna is helping more people become parents, and has developed cutting edge science to grow healthy sperm from a man’s own testicular stem cells. This approach to in vitro spermatogenesis should contribute to fewer IVF cycles, more successful pregnancies and more, healthier newborns.

We are developing critical knowledge and relationships that will facilitate how Paterna approaches product development and the growth of the company.  Through connections with regulatory, strategic and funding resources, we are developing a better understanding of the global regulatory and market landscape, and honing how we are going to grow and scale the company.  

"The MedTech Accelerator helped us more quickly and effectively hone our product, our fundraising approach, and how we are approaching the global infertility market."
