About Our Company

Driven by Purpose.
Powered by Innovation.

NanoNeurosciences was founded on a mission to redefine the treatment of glaucoma and neurodegenerative ocular diseases.  Witnessing the profound impact of glaucoma on our loved ones fueled our determination to actively seek transformative solutions. We’re not just searching for better treatments; we are pioneering a paradigm shift that goes beyond symptom relief to the possibility of restoring vision entirely.

Glaucoma and other neurodegenerative diseases demand more than incremental improvements. They require bold, science-driven breakthroughs, and that’s exactly what we’re creating.

Founded in early 2024, NanoNeurosciences is pioneering a new era of glaucoma treatment through advanced nanomedicines. Our research is centered around developing a low-cost, biocompatible, drug-free, and tissue-specific therapy that targets the root causes of ocular degeneration — not just the symptoms.

Since May 2024, NanoNeurosciences operates out of UF Innovate | Sid Martin Biotech in Alachua, Florida — one of the nation’s leading biotech incubators. Here, we are harnessing the latest developments in nanoengineering and neural regeneration to push the boundaries of what is possible.

We’re not just imagining a world where glaucoma no longer exists, we’re engineering it.
