EpiEndo is an Icelandic pharmaceutical and biotech startup company, primarily focused on solutions to chronic airway diseases. EpiEndo is the only company targeting Epithelial Barrier Failure (EBF) in respiratory diseases. Applying the paradigm of the “leaky epithelial barrier” both diagnostically and therapeutically makes EpiEndo a unique industry player and has enabled ways to disrupt the status-quo that has prevailed in the respiratory sector for decades.

Our company name stems from our view of the body’s Epithelial-Endothelial interfaces.

Our team includes Icelandic, Swedish and English medical biology and pharmaceutical experts and an experienced Scientific Advisory Board composed by important Key Opinion Leaders with a strong clinical and pharmacology background and extensive experience in managing international large projects.

The team members located at the Innovation House are EpiEndo’s COO Finnur Friðrik Einarsson and from time to time  EpiEndo’s Founder and board member, Friðrik Rúnar Garðsson, MD.

Genki Instruments recently had the pleasure of hosting students from the departments of mathematics, physics and electrical engineering at the University of Iceland.

The students had a chance to learn a bit about the technical aspects of hardware/software development while also getting a glimpse into the lives of startup-founders that not too long ago were standing in their shoes.

Events such as this one are quite common amongst university students in Iceland, who regularly have the chance to lay down the books and visit companies in a relaxed setting on a Friday evening and learn about industry opportunities post graduation.

During their time at the electrical engineering department at the University of Iceland, two of Genki Instruments’ co-founders had a chance to participate in numerous such fun events, and are happy to now have hosted their first one.
