Hub & Spoke Flexibility

Eyexora’s hub-and-spoke model centralizes key expertise in a central “hub” to drive a portfolio of “spoke” subsidiaries. This accelerates development of distinct opportunities and reduces risk.

Pan-Ophthalmic Approach

Current focus areas span retina, anterior segment diseases, and cell therapy. With expansion into additional high-value markets in areas of significant unmet patient need, through exclusive in-licensing and academic collaborations.

Proven Mechanisms and Moonshots

By diversifying across multiple assets, Eyexora aims to lower risk while accelerating the path to commercialization via both validated mechanisms and high-impact “moonshots.”
