Our Mission

To deliver life-saving medicine faster when every second counts

OUR PURPOSE

We relentlessly seek new technologies that will save lives and improve outcomes for patients facing life-threatening emergencies

OUR STORY​

We’re an Australian clinical stage pharma company that pursues innovative product platforms for the emergency treatment of life-threatening conditions.

We were founded in Brisbane by ground breaking intensive care specialist and researcher, Professor John F Fraser. He understands the impact that anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest has on a patient’s outcomes and quality of life.

At DMC we see a critical need to deliver life-saving drugs faster to patients when they’re experiencing life-threatening situations outside of hospital. 

We are developing a needle-free device for people experiencing anaphylaxis.

We believe that faster epinephrine absorption via inhalation may prove to be a valuable alternative delivery mode not only for anaphylaxis but also for other emergency medical treatments.
