The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is considering giving EpifiZa Inc., a company based in Canada, an exclusive license for some of its patented technologies. These inventions involve fusion proteins aimed at treating people with short stature due to genetic conditions. Public comments and license applications are being accepted until February 9, 2021. The license is intended to cover worldwide use, focusing on developing and selling treatments for growth-related disorders.
