Corporate profile
Established in 1999, Prolacta Bioscience is a privately held life sciences company that has touched the lives of more than 100,000 premature infants globally.1
Available in hospitals since 2006, our 100% human milk-based fortifiers changed the standard of care for extremely premature infants worldwide. These are the first nutritional fortifiers made from 100% donor human milk instead of cow milk.
Expanding globally
Our line of human milk-based fortifiers is currently on the market in 9 countries. Most recently, our fortifier for infants recovering from cardiovascular surgeries became available in Germany and Austria. We are also continuing our efforts to bring our products to more patients throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Future innovations
In addition to exploring innovations and product line extensions for our core nutrition business, we are actively considering business development opportunities. Further, our promising orphan drug pipeline is focused on finding new innovative therapies for indications with highly unmet needs such as Allo-HCT, solid organ transplantation, among others.
