Our mission
Paterna’s mission is to improve human reproductive health.
Did you know?
There is currently no effective, FDA-approved therapeutic for male infertility.
After a decade of collaboration among the founders, Paterna has deciphered the in vivo environment for spermatogenesis and applied it to in vitro spermatogenesis, facilitating the treatment of male infertility.
We started Paterna because our founders wanted to ensure that all couples could have healthy children.
We focus on male fertility and are developing in vitro spermatogenesis from stem cells to mature, healthy sperm, enabling IVF and achieving life- and world-changing results.
Of the ~3 million IVF cycles annually around the world, ~50% of these fail and a male factor causes ~50% of these failures.
Male Infertility lags 30 years behind IVF-focused female treatment.
Solving male infertility is a significant unmet need.
3%
of children in the US are born using IVF
8%
of men are infertile
15%
of all couples are infertile
50%
of this infertility is due to a male factor
Why did we create Paterna Biosciences?
Paterna was started because it became almost unbearable for our founders to constantly deliver the heartbreaking news to couples that they were unable to conceive.
Determined to solve the issue of infertility, the founders began to focus on male biology (vs. female, which up until now has been the standard) and creating in vitro spermatogenesis.
Globally there are approximately 3 million IVF cycles annually. About 50% of those cycles fail and a male factor accounts for about 50% of the failed attempts. Paterna addresses this challenge.
With more funding, we will pioneer the existing science, and achieve breakthrough, world-changing results. We have already kept sperm stem cells alive and replicated longer than any other lab.
Overcoming male infertility.
Our moral and ethical statement: The founders and leadership of Paterna Biosciences recognize that work with stem cells is considered controversial by some. We can restore fertility using the patient’s own stem cells.
Our position is that we can solve genetic disorders that cause male infertility and beyond. That is our sole focus. We completely reject and will not pursue this work to enable modifications of heritable social traits. We view that as immoral and will have no part in it.
