About Terrestrial Bio, Inc.
Terrestrial's proprietary Tacterra™ microarray patch (MAP) and applicator platform consists of a patch
resembling an adhesive bandage, which is applied with a preloaded applicator and removed after a few
minutes. Once applied, each patch delivers bioactive tips into the skin, which dissolve quickly into the body,
rapidly releasing their therapeutic payload. Designed for self-administration, the temperature-stable
Tacterra™ platform enables precise, controlled delivery of a wide range of therapeutics without medical
Terrestrial has generated strong clinical and in-vivo proof of concept across multiple molecules. For more
