Skincare
Today, the secretome of menstrual stem cells is an ingredient in partner skincare, and the ingredient business pays for the company.
About the skincareIt started with a question no one was asking.
The people, the mission and the story behind a biotech platform that finds value in menstruation and funds its own research in women's health.
The founding story
Juliette Humer, founder & CEO.
Juliette is a molecular biologist. Her own spinal injury drew her to stem cell research, where she found promising work stuck in academic labs. She kept returning to a simple observation: the endometrium is the only adult human tissue that naturally renews itself every cycle, and it was going almost entirely unstudied and unused.
She founded Muse Bio to build something rigorous from that overlooked resource: a biomanufacturing platform powered by stem cells from menstrual blood, starting with a cell-free skincare ingredient and laying the foundation for a separate and expanding therapeutic pipeline.
The most renewable biology in the human body, put to work.
Menstrual blood has been treated as waste. We've built a company on the opposite idea: that it's worth something today, in skincare, and worth studying for what it might become.
Our work
One company, one source, two kinds of work.
Research
Separately, and at an early stage, Muse Bio is researching those same cells for applications in regenerative medicine and women's health.
