CILCARE

About the company

Cilcare is a biotech dedicated to harnessing auditory sciences to reshape the future of care via early diagnosis and targeted treatment. They believe hearing acts as a valuable indicator of our health and must be monitored and preserved accordingly. As awareness of the link between hearing and chronic health conditions grows, auditory sciences are paving the way for the early detection of chronic neurocognitive, inflammatory, and age-related diseases.

Its approach focuses on translational research, supported by a cutting-edge R&D platform with robust pharmacological models. Partnering with CBSET, a translational institute linked to the MIT in 2017, Cilcare accelerated its mission, to drive transformative breakthroughs. Developing its own assets coupled with a unique AI-driven approach, Cilcare focuses on cochlear synaptopathy treatment and associated neuro-inflammatory disorders.
