Miraqules co-founder and CEO Sabir Hossain always knew he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and run his own business. But he never thought he’d launch a biotech company built around a technology that would have been able to help his father after a near-tragic accident years earlier left him almost bleeding to death.
Bengaluru-based Miraqules developed a nanotechnology in powder form that mimics blood clotting proteins. The blood clotting powder rapidly produces fibrous compounds at room temperature that are a high volume to ratio and can absorb blood quickly when applied.
“This is a product that will give you feedback instantly,” Hossain told TechCrunch. “If there is a person bleeding, you apply it, and the bleeding stops. This whole thing happens within one or two minutes.”
Miraqules is a Top 20 Startup Battlefield finalist and will be presenting this technology on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, this week in San Francisco.
Hossain said he developed the technology almost by accident.
He went to grad school for biomedical engineering and started working in a research lab focused on biomaterials where his job was essentially to mimic the work of a doctorate student.
“I was really bad at that, actually,” Hossain said. “Her job was to create 3D structures that will help in bone tissue growth, that could help in bone generation. Every time I was synthesizing that material, it was getting dismantled.”
