CytexOrtho is a pre-clinical stage medical device company working to advance orthopaedic treatment options for cartilage repair. Our purpose is to leverage the pioneering tissue regeneration work of Dr. Farshid Guilak, Dr. Bradley Estes, and Dr. Frank Moutos. Dr. Guilak, formerly at Duke University and now at Washington University in St. Louis, is Executive Chairman of Cytex and continues to lend his guidance and advice to the company. Dr. Estes serves as CEO and Dr. Moutos as VP of Technology Development. We have generated significant pre-clinical data, established manufacturing processes and we are now progressing toward a pilot clinical study of our lead product, an acellular implant to restore hip joint health in young patients needing surgical intervention. Our company headquarters are in Durham, North Carolina.
