AmyPore

Our team

The inventors

Jacques Fantini & Nouara Yahi

The scientific discoveries underlying the creation of AmyPore are based on the work of two internationally recognized university professors, Nouara Yahi (Aix-Marseille University) and Jacques Fantini (Aix-Marseille University and Institut Universitaire de France), who together have more than 300 publications in renowned scientific journals.

Nouara Yahi and Jacques Fantini own the intellectual property of the patent and AmyPore has an exclusive operating license to develop AmyP53 as an anti-Alzheimer's and Parkinson's drug worldwide.
