Company Summary

Calevia thermal therapy is a physical ablation modality designed to selectively destroy cancer tissue in a non-invasive manner without the side-effects and strong limitations of common therapeutic modalities such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The technology combines a tumor-specific ligand and the nanoparticle graphene which has the property to change light into heat instantly. It will be developed for several solid tumor types.
