QC Scientist

Neurotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a private biotech company located in Cumberland, RI and Needham, MA, within Greater Boston’s biotech landscape. Since its inception more than 20 years ago, the company focuses on developing and commercializing transformative therapies for chronic eye diseases. Its core platform technology,
encapsulated cell therapy (ECT), is a first‑in‑class drug delivery platform designed to slow the progression of chronic eye diseases. Neurotech’s first commercial product,
ENCELTO™ (revakinagene taroretcel‑lwey), is approved in the United States for the treatment of adults with idiopathic Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (Mac Tel). Encapsulated cell‑based gene therapy provides long‑term, sustained delivery of therapeutic proteins for the treatment of chronic eye diseases.
