Company
AudioCure Pharma was founded in Berlin in August 2010 by university professor and doctor of medicine Hans Rommelspacher.
Rommelspacher has been studying the primary compound to be used in the drug for 20 years. In the past few years he embarked on extensive structure-activity experiments and proved the therapeutic potential of the drug.
