Amplifica is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Del Mar, California, that develops novel injectable therapeutics to treat androgenetic alopecia by stimulating dormant hair follicle stem cells. Operating with fewer than 10 employees under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Frank Fazio, the enterprise closed an $11.8 million Series A financing round in late 2022 to advance its ongoing clinical trials. The funding round was led by the venture capital firm Prime Movers Lab, supporting proprietary signaling molecule research that originally stems from biological studies conducted at the University of California, Irvine. The company initiated its first-in-human clinical study for its lead compound, AMP-303, in June 2023 to evaluate safety, tolerability, and measurable hair regrowth in both male and female patients. Amplifica was founded in 2018 by Maksim Plikus, Wajdie Ahmad, Fauad Hasan, and William Rassman.
