CUTISS AG is a spin-off of University of Zurich (UZH). The founders formerly worked for Kinderspital Zurich and TBRU (Tissue Biology Research Unit).
TBRU was led by Prof. Dr. Ernst Reichmann who, with his team of researchers – including Dr. Daniela Marino and Dr. Fabienne Hartmann-Fritsch – has developed denovoSkin™ from 2001 at the University of Zurich / University Children’s Hospital-Kinderspital-Kispi. The project was under the supervision of Prof. Dr. med. Martin Meuli (Director of the Surgery Department of Kispi), and had the collaboration of Prof. Dr. med. Clemens Schiestl (Head of Burn Unit of Kispi).
In 2016, the project denovoSkin™ was accelerated by Wyss Zurich and in 2017 CUTISS AG was incorporated.
We are extremely grateful towards Wyss Zurich, as well as others who supported us from the early years onwards, such as Fondation Gaydoul, Thérèse Meier, Fondation Sana, Vontobel Stiftung and many more.
