it would be nice
dNovo new promissing player in the stemcell race
- Thread starter byebyehair
- Start date
This guy got PhD from Stanford University (6th ranked in USA), and postdoctoral degree at Harvard University (2nd ranked in USA). Also, bachelor degree from University of California Irvine (36th ranked in USA), so you call this guy fraud? Jesus...
Hairs on mice that he reproduced are best so far that I have ever seen before. Plus, all those hairs are done with human stem cells.
Maybe this guy will fail in human trials, maybe he will do nothing, but at least give them a chance, and stop doing conspiracy theories everywhere.
He's not even referring to biotech. If you really think the cure for hair loss is a bad investment because they patented it then don't invest.
PG's background is software and historically the vast majority of YC companies have been software startups. His comment about patents is almost certainly relevant to those. Things maybe different in the medical world. I wouldn't read too much into this.
Another thing that bothers me is that they claim to have phds from x and y and z universities working for them but don’t bother to name or list them on their home page. Another sign that they are trying very hard to look bigger than they actually are.
dNovo left in me the impression that they are trying to appear bigger/better/closer to the cure than they actually are.
And if it is indeed the case it wouldn’t be the first time in hair loss land so I don’t know why you guys are getting so defensive.

Where did I call him a fraud lol
I think the guy is legit, but he is using some marketing tactics that are not very noble, which raises some flags for me. That’s my opinion.
Also, they were founded in 2018 and only managed to raise seed capital now, and are still in proof of concept stage as far as I know. They are moving very slowly for a company making the claims they are making.

There is no such think ’I think’. Ernesto got his postdoctoral degree on number 5 university worldwide for cell and molecular biology. How many persons knows around you that got education from 2 most prestigious universities in USA and worldwide? And we call this guy ’fraud’, because he put patent pending?
Of course, Shinya Yamanaka was fraud, because also put patent pending on his novel breakthrough discovery of iPSCs.
Of course, Jennifer Doudgha was fraud, because she also put patent pending on her novel breakthrough discovery of CRISPR-Cas9.
Nobody can use this technologies without paying money to Shinya or Jennifer, because they protected their discoveries.
It is same for Ernest. He think that his technology is groundbreaking and wanna protect it. There is nothing wrong or fraud about that.
I agree with you that there are no more than 4-5 peoples helping him with the company. Probably close friends from university, but he doesn’t need 200 people around him. All new biotech companies are not more than 10-15 people.

Sincerely Dnovo makes me a dejavu from 2009 of Thomas Whitfield and overpriced vitamins TRX2

yeah, selling a vitamin complex and reprogramming stem cells without having to make them pluripotent are exactly the same

I have completed a small interview with dNovo. The information shared at this point is not crucial but I will share it in a week or two.

Probably something similar to a hair transplant, I would assume. It's just injections, so I'd wager it will be 10-20k for a full series of treatments. We all know PRP costs upwards of several thousands at the moment and doesn't do very much.
Will a surgeon be needed to recreate the hairline?

Yes, you are right. Most important thing is that Fukuda is still focused on hair cloning.
