Developments at Ohana Biosciences

27 January 2020

Life sciences innovation company Flagship Pioneering today announced that first-in-category reproductive health company, Ohana Biosciences, is embarking on a fresh approach to the field of reproductive medicine with the creation of the industry's first sperm biology platform, a major shift from the traditional path of focusing on egg biology.

Since Ohana's founding in 2016, its platform has yielded product opportunities in fundamental areas of reproductive health based on insights into sperm biology. Those opportunities include improving fertility rates, reducing pregnancy complications, inherited disease, and developmental disorders, and delivering non-hormonal contraception.

Ohana - the word means "family" in Hawaiian - is led by chief executive Amber Salzman, and is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
