HairClone is proud to have been awarded Follicle Biotechnology Company of the Year, 2023. The award falls under the International Life Sciences category, acknowledging the innovations and challenges overcome by companies within this rapidly progressing sector.
GHP’s annual Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals Awards recognise the innovations and contributions made to improving the medical field.

HairClone operates the world’s first hair follicle bank, allowing whole follicles to be cryopreserved and stored for later use in emerging cell therapies for regenerative medicine.
HairClone is working towards a treatment for androgenic alopecia using dermal papilla cells multiplied from banked follicles to replace those lost during the progression of the disease. Once treatment becomes available, it could transform the lives of those suffering from the condition.
HairClone’s approach is unique in its goal of restoring hair density long-term, rather than just delaying loss or transiently stimulating growth.
