atDose was founded on September 1, 2017 in Yokohama City, Kanagawa, Japan. We are developing a mobile-type dosing and infusion device that can dispense ultra-small doses at precise target points. The lightweight portable intravenous device can be used to support the treatment of diseases such as brain tumors, retinal disease, and breast cancer. With this device, we aim to create a medication platform that will fundamentally change the conventional treatment of serious diseases. For example, side effects such as stomatitis, hair loss, and nausea with anticancer drugs are one of eternal difficulty of medicine. Our ultra-micro-dosing device enables localized, targeted and continuous dosing. Thus, side effects should be reduced while maintaining the efficacy of the drug. Since an animal study has proved our device efficacy, we can go through clinical trial of any cancer therapy. Furthermore, any drug combination can be freely applied with newly approvable dosing amount, therefore, our device will be a novel drug delivery system as a platform technology. We also aim to improve patients' Quality of Life (QoL) with increasing the option of medication procedure. In addition to the conventional treatment, our platform technology will provide an additional procedure that respects patients' preference of QoL . We strongly believe this will improve present medication.

We are currently working on the following projects. Extraction of magnesium and lithium from the sea, smelting magnesium hydroxide into pure magnesium to be used as a raw material for magnesium alloys, supply of domestically produced low-CO2 magnesium as a constituent material for next-generation key industries such as automobiles and robots by overcoming the situation where China accounts for more than 80% of the world's production. To recover CO2 from various sources, such as thermal power generation and atmospheric CO2, generate heat and electricity through a power generation system using the combustion reaction between magnesium and CO2. Furthermore, we aim to kill two birds with one stone by recovering CO2 from many sources, such as thermal power generation and CO2 in the atmosphere, and generating heat and electricity through a power generation system using the combustion reaction of magnesium and CO2 to reduce CO2.

We are a startup to develop a novel tiny particle for unmet medical needs such as cancer and chronic pain, which particle is self-targeting to the tumor vessel, repeatable and degradable as a platform technology for further applications. Our unique particle is patent granted in Japan, now under transferring to the US, EU and China now. The first indication for human clinical trial will be HCC (hepato-cellular carcinoma) to replace TACE (trans-catheter chemoembolization) treatment which is the current primary option for the intermediate stage of HCC and to be a primary option other than shifting to chemotherapy. The other advantages are universal to every solid tumor, locoregional work at tumor tissue only, combinatory because of drug free and gentle for the weaken patient without additional physical burden. We can expect the extension of PFS (progression free survival) and OS (overall survival) rather than the high response of the advanced chemotherapy such as molecular target medicine and immunotherapy with severe side effects and drug escalations. The potential market for liver cancer only will be near 1 billion dollars per year. So, after the extension to the other solid tumors, it will be easily over several billions. The current definition of our particle is a medical device (category III by FDA), but it can become a functional matter after labeling other functions as a medicine. We are looking for the investors, collaboration partners and medical institutions for the global clinical trials.
