Robin Carmichael
President & COO, Helix BioMedix, Inc
Helix BioMedix, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with an extensive proprietary library of structurally diverse bioactive peptides and patents covering hundreds of thousands of peptide sequences. Our mission is to enrich clinical practice and the patient/consumer experience by developing and commercializing topically applied products which offer the benefits of our advanced bioactive small molecule peptide technology. Our business strategy is to develop our peptide and small molecule portfolio to derive revenue from a broad base of opportunities including licensing to third parties rights to use select proprietary peptides in specific fields of application and commercializing our own branded products. Over the longer term, we intend to pursue applications for products using our technology in medical devices and pharmaceutical preparations. We have developed numerous peptides with unique sequences for use in the following two areas of application:
• Consumer skin care products — we have developed a range of peptides and small molecule technologies capable of improving different aspects of the skin’s appearance, texture, tone and barrier function and are marketing these peptides as innovative ingredients for cosmetic use; and
• Prescription (Rx) products — certain of our peptides have demonstrated promising results in the areas of infection control, wound healing, anti-inflammation, anti-acne and psoriasis.
