The Nose is an Untapped
Gateway to Better Health

Prevention:

A Smarter Approach to Better Health

Every breath exposes us to airborne germs—including those that cause cold, flu, RSV, and COVID-19—along with allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander. While the nose has natural defenses, they aren’t perfect, allowing some threats to slip through.

That’s why our technology is designed to reinforce the body’s first line of defense before symptoms start—helping us stay one step ahead.

Precision:

Faster, More Effective Medicines

Traditional therapeutics take 45+ minutes to work, losing effectiveness as they pass through digestion. Nasal delivery works in minutes—bypassing digestion for faster, more consistent results.

How Our Technology Works

But not all nasal sprays are created equal

Standard formulas struggle to pass the nose’s built-in defenses and offer just an hour of contact time.

Our advanced nasal platform is engineered for precision—optimizing absorption and extending benefits for lasting impact.

The Akita Story

Breaking Barriers in
Nasal Science:

Akita was born from groundbreaking research in Dr. Jeff Karp and Dr. Nitin Joshi’s labs at Harvard. Nasal sprays have long faced challenges—most formulas struggle to cross the nasal lining and wash away too fast to be effective. So we built a smarter platform to optimize absorption and extend benefits.

Optimizing Delivery, Then
Reinventing Defense:

As we advanced our platform, the pandemic revealed another urgent challenge: viruses like COVID-19 target receptors in the nose to establish infection. That raised a new question—what if, instead of just improving absorption, we could block it altogether? This led to another breakthrough, and Akita Biosciences was born to advance the prevention of airborne diseases, allergies, and precision delivery of therapeutics.
