Established in 2022, MB Therapeutics is the latest company to join the pharmaceutical 3D printing market. The company turns stealth mode off with a funding round of €2 million led by Beprep, Calyseed, Angels Santé, the “Banque Publique d’Investissement” (BPI), and Business Angels, particularly expert pharmacists such as Sébastien Gallice, coowner of “Pharmacie des Rosiers” and President of the French Society of Compounding Pharmacists (PREF).
If there are several companies worldwide that 3D print medicines, MB Therapeutics would be the first in the French market to provide this service. As a reminder, 3D printing enables precise dosage adjustments for adults suffering from hypertension or the creation of child-friendly formulations.
Currently, over 1,000 community and hospital pharmacies across Europe specialize in drug compounding. These preparations are mainly done manually, which presents several challenges: enhancing quality standards, boosting production capacity to address drug shortages, and meeting the rising demand for personalized medicine. MB Therapeutics provides pharmacies with cutting-edge 3D printing technology and pre-filled cartridges with standardized pharmaceutical formulations, enabling on-site manufacturing of oral dosage forms, including orodispersible tablets. By integrating this innovation into their compounding labs, pharmacies significantly enhance staff safety, productivity, and preparation quality while ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements, a press release explains.
“Local production in community or hospital pharmacies of tailor-made medicines ensures rapid availability and precise dosages, essential for urgent and personalized care,” explained Dr. Stéphane Roulon, CEO and Co-founder of MB Therapeutics.
The company envisions a future where personalized medicines are accessible to all, everywhere. This funding round will enable the launch of three high-demand medicines in preparation for a Series A funding round in 2026.
