Avivo Biomedical Inc

Avivo, a British Columbia-based preclinical-stage company, has identified enzymes that convert the cell surface antigens that determine a person’s blood group to group O, the universal donor type. This innovative platform enables a world where a person’s blood type is no longer the first constraint when they need life-saving organ transplants or blood transfusions. Avivo’s platform will enable healthcare providers to better prioritize patients by medical urgency, spend less on management and logistics and ultimately save more lives.
