Founded in 2009 by technical founders Dr. John Lannutti and Dr. Jed Johnson, Dublin-based Nanofiber Solutions designs and manufactures three-dimensional nanofiber scaffolds that mimic the body’s extracellular matrix for regenerative medicine and cell research. Its platform spans off-the-shelf cell-culture products and custom scaffolds, including the company’s work toward tissue-engineered implants and bioreactor-scale applications. Nanofiber Solutions moved into a more than 12,000-square-foot Dublin facility in 2021 and received FDA clearances for products in 2018 and 2019.
Atreon OrthopedicsDublin-based Atreon Orthopedics develops synthetic electrospun scaffolds and biologic-support devices for musculoskeletal and tissue healing. A privately owned start-up built on more than 17 years of research and development, the company’s Autobiologic™ platform is designed to work with the body’s own healing factors, with ROTIUM® used at the tendon-bone interface and related solutions extending into wound reconstruction. Atreon’s growing intellectual property portfolio includes more than 50 issued and pending patents, and its FDA-cleared ROTIUM technology has been used in more than 12,000 rotator cuff procedures.DUBLIN, OH
MatericFounded in 2020, Baltimore-based Materic turns laboratory materials technologies into commercial products, pairing scientists and engineers with in-house development and production capabilities. Its team works across electrospun nanofibers, custom formulations, and advanced 3D-printed parts, helping customers move from early concepts through pilot and commercial manufacturing. Materic says its portfolio includes more than a dozen technologies acquired from research labs across the country, with more than 60 years of collective team experience in commercialization.BALTIMORE, MD
ElutiaFounded by regenerative-medicine specialists C. Randal Mills and Michelle LeRoux Williams, Elutia develops biologic medical products that help implanted devices work more naturally with the body. Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the company builds on a proprietary drug-eluting biomaterial platform and engineered extracellular-matrix biology, with products for soft-tissue reconstruction and cardiovascular repair. Its SimpliDerm allograft and ProxiCor biomatrices are designed to support tissue integration and regeneration rather than simply provide inert structural support.GAITHERSBURG, MD
SWFT LabsFounded in 2021, SWFT Labs is an East Setauket deep-tech company built around its patented NOP process for turning underutilized biomass into cellulose nanofibers and fertilizers. After moving from laboratory research to pilot production, the company has validated a one-ton commercial run and is developing agriculture-focused applications for industrial customers.EAST SETAUKET, NY
