 PROFILE
PowderJect works faster than the speed of sound.

The technology can also deliver genetic material directly into cells. Its primary product candidates are being developed to deliver local anesthetics (PowderJect Lidocaine) and a DNA vaccine for hepatitis B. It is also developing a treatment for erectile dysfunction called PowderJect Alprostadil. PowderJect is exploring diagnostic applications such as HIV testing and glucose monitoring.
