Procyon Technologies, LLC

Procyon Technologies, LLC is a Tucson-based company specializing in the development and commercialization of cellular therapies and implantable medical devices. With a strong focus on diabetes, their innovative oxygen-enabled encapsulated cell therapy technology aims to provide a functional cure for type one diabetes without the need for immune-suppressing drugs, while also exploring potential treatments for other serious medical conditions.

Utilizing biocompatible synthetic membranes, Procyon Technologies has created implantable chambers that protect allogeneic cells from immune rejection, improving their viability and function through oxygen delivery. These devices can also be used for sensor placement or as a subcutaneous drug delivery system. Collaborating with the Institute for Cellular Transplantation at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, their initial focus is on utilizing human pancreatic islets and stem cell-derived islets to develop safe and effective cellular therapies.
