GlycoEra is developing biologics to selectively target the root cause of many autoimmune diseases: a specific circulating protein (autoantibody). Our approach enables us to degrade targets rapidly, selectively, and deeply while avoiding broader dampening of the immune system. This offers many potential benefits over existing broad-spectrum immune-suppressing therapies, including an improved safety profile and the potential for earlier disease intervention – which could improve patient quality of life, limit long-term complications and lower overall healthcare costs. Our best-in-class, extracellular degrader BiND™ platform (Biologic Natural Degrader), allows us to target and rapidly, deeply degrade any circulating protein of interest regardless of therapeutic area – such as an autoantibody in autoimmune disease, a circulating factor inducing inflammation or a protein aggregate in neurological disease.

Polyneuron is a growing Basel-based biotechnology company active in the area of autoimmune disease treatments. The company was founded in 2014 as a spinout company from the University of Basel to develop novel treatments to combat immune disorders using its Antibody-Catch™ technology platform. The company currently employs about 10 people and has raised a significant amount in equity funding from top-tier VCs. We are a team of passionate and experienced scientists, entrepreneurs and investors willing to bring new therapies to patients.

NodThera is developing a new class of potent and highly selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors for the treatment of diseases driven by chronic inflammation. We’re building a dynamic team of people across our offices in Cambridge, UK; Seattle, WA; and Boston, MA; all united by our shared ambition, enthusiasm, and creativity.
