Combining the latest scientific, medical and electronic technology
Tyrell, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on the development of medical devices for the treatment of skin lesions. Comprised of experts from both the biological/medical and consumer products industries, Tyrell is dedicated to developing innovative and scientifically effective medical products that are designed to be used without the need for a prescription.
Established
in Houston, Texas in September 2002, Tyrell, Inc. is a
leading pioneer in an exciting new category of home based
medical devices. The company was formed to develop and
market ground-breaking new products, the first of which
is Zeno™, a product set to revolutionize over-the-counter
treatment of acne. Utilising proprietary ClearPoint™ Technology,
this electronic medical device utilises precisely controlled
heat to destroy the bacteria that causes common acne,
dramatically reducing the healing time of spots.
ClearPoint technology was the brainchild of founder Robert Conrad and co-inventor Charles Conrad, M.D., brothers from a family of doctors and nurses, who together have a track record of starting successful life science companies. The creation of Tyrell, Inc. and the groundbreaking Zeno is a result of their sincere passion to provide a simple and effective solution for at-home acne treatment.
The Conrad brothers capitalised on
the known processes of heat shock response and cellular
apoptosis as the rationale for the ClearPoint technology.
Years of testing and refinement led to the invention of
the Zeno device and the establishment of an entirely new
technology for dealing with skin lesions.
The breakthrough ClearPoint technology attracted the support of the Houston Technology Center (HTC) and the Houston Angel Network (HAN), a group of investors focused on funding the development of privately held companies. Together the HTC and HAN connected Tyrell with Walter V. (Wally) Klemp, president and CEO of Tyrell, Inc. Mr. Klemp is an established entrepreneur who has founded three companies, one of which became #1 on the INC 500 list of America 's Fastest Growing Companies. Mr. Klemp was so impressed with Zeno that he signed on to provide valuable leadership in a variety of areas including capital funding, intellectual property protection, and product development.
Tyrell's revolutionary ClearPoint technology was made possible in part with the help of the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP), a program administered by the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership to help businesses apply technical expertise derived from the United States Space Program. SATOP contributed thermal engineering services with the assistance of The Boeing Company and a new technology was born.
Zeno and its ClearPoint technology are the products of
countless hours of research and engineering and Tyrell
is committed to making that technology available for all
acne sufferers. Our mission: clear smooth skin for all!
