NanoPrecision: Sculpting the Future of Oncology with Targeted Protein Conjugates

Our technology allows the design of new protein conjugates organized as nanoparticles and capable of targeting specific biological systems. This protein architecture is highly stable upon administration in vivo, allowing not only long-lasting systemic circulation but also site-specific drug delivery. Precision medicine aiming high therapeutic index and low side effects for oncology.

First drug under development

We’re pioneering a new generation of precision nanomedicines: harnessing the power of smaller peptides and self-assembling nanotechnology for safer, more effective treatment against CXCR4+ cancer cells. Our initial drug, tailored for CXCR4+ tumor cells, is poised for personalized, tumor-agnostic approval, addressing patients with CXCR4 receptor overexpression, irrespective of primary tumor site.

The technology we’ve developed holds promise beyond cancer, potentially revolutionizing targeted drug delivery for various human conditions, utilizing different biomarkers.
