The company intends to use the funds to continue to develop its Hero Patch™ platform.
Founded by Hojat Rezaei Nejad, Konstantinos Tzortzakis, and Jake Lombardo, Anodyne Nanotech provides a Hero Patch™ platform, which uses microneedle technology to deliver clinically meaningful doses of macromolecules and small molecules.
By incorporating solvent-free bulk drug substance directly into microscopic porosities, Anodyne can load high amounts of the drug onto each microneedle. When the microneedle penetrates into the skin, the drug dissolves in the patient’s interstitial fluid and is systemically absorbed.
The company plans to conduct clinical trials to characterize the bioequivalence, safety and tolerability of several Hero Patch products.
The 2019 Passaic County boys lacrosse championship game between Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley seemed to set the table perfectly for the 2020 Passaic County Tournament. Hills (18-2) defeated Valley (11-8) in hard-fought contest, 6-4.
It was the third straight county crown in a row for Hills (2017, 2018, 2019) and the second year in a row they beat Valley in the championship game. Valley last won the Passaic County crown in 2016, when beat West Milford in the championship game.
Because both Hills and Valley were comprised of numerous underclassmen in 2019, speculation abounded that both teams could perhaps square off in the County Championship game again in 2020. Perhaps, they could also meet up in the 2020 State Tournament and perhaps they could both field the best teams in their histories.
