Getting Rid of Injections for Diabetes and Other Drugs? Dr. David Klein Cerrejon, OBaris

X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

If you are a person with diabetes, you already know that some drugs cannot be administered other than via injections. Today’s guest works on a solution for these medications to be taken from the inside of the cheek.
You’ll hear:

• how different kinds of drugs are absorbed
• why some drugs, macromolecular drugs, such as the ones for diabetes, need to be delivered in injections
• how Obaris has overcome this problem
• how drugs such as Ozempic or Mounjaro could be administered painlessly

Dr. David Klein Cerrejon is the CEO of Obaris, a chemist with a PhD in pharmaceutical science specializing in drug delivery.
Obaris is a Swiss startup, an ETH spin-off, that develops Octo-Patch, a small, painless patch, resembling an octopus sucker, that you can stick to the inner side of the cheek to administer drugs that are now available only in injections.
