MPLUSHEAL

MPLUSHEAL is a biotechnology startup focused on the development and production of human hair keratin-based biomaterials. Founded in 2024 at Entertech/Istanbul Teknokent with support from the TUBITAK 1812 Entrepreneurship Support Program, the company aims to convert abundant, often wasted human hair into high-value keratin resources. Its research and production efforts are directed toward applications in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, trauma care, tissue adhesives, and cell culture tools. By leveraging the high keratin content of human hair, MPLUSHEAL seeks to provide sustainable, innovative biomaterial solutions for various biotechnological and clinical needs.

This technology addresses the challenge of resource inefficiency, as much of the world's annually produced human hair is discarded or incinerated. By transforming this renewable resource into a standardized keratin biomaterial, MPLUSHEAL aims to contribute to sustainable material science while creating functional products for medical and biotechnological markets. The company is actively building its academic and intellectual property foundation, evidenced by its patent registration for keratin biomaterial in Turkey and participation in international accelerator programs to engage with investors and expand its industrial impact.
