Miravex Ltd specialises in optics and image analysis. Its product, the Antera 3D is a camera and software tool for skin analysis that provides aesthetic medicine doctors, dermatologists, cosmetic manufacturers and others with a powerful and versatile consultation tool for the analysis of wrinkles, texture, pigmentation and redness. The tool is also supplied to contract research organisations and laboratories as a versatile, accurate and easy-to-use camera for clinical studies. The product is based on cutting edge science developed in the School of Physics, Trinity and licensed from the university in 2009. This licence positioned the company to address significant market need in a growing industry and has led to Miravex growing sales worldwide and achieving Enterprise Ireland HPSU status.
The Innovation Office at Trinity College Dublin was involved from an early stage helping the team secure research funding, advising on IP strategies and ultimately protecting valuable IP through patents. The office worked with the spin-out to conclude an exclusive licensing agreement in 2009 and since then has been providing continued support for post deal management and other research engagements between the company and the University.
