About Age-related Macular Degeneration Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the central part of the retina, known as the macula, which is responsible for central vision and its sharpness. AMD is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 50 worldwide. There are two types of AMD:…
DetailsSARCOPENIA: SARA CLINICAL PROGRAMME 1. An age-related disease with no drug treatment Sarcopenia is a disease characterised by a progressive and widespread loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, leading to muscle weakness, and is related to falls, disability, a significant reduction in quality of life and death. Sarcopenia affects between 10% and 16%…

DetailsOur second drug candidate, Macuneos (BIO201), is an orally administered small molecule for the treatment of diseases of the retina. Based on preclinical studies, we believe Macuneos (BIO201) stimulates biological resilience through non-canonical activation of the transrepressive activity of PPARs and may protect the retina against phototoxic damage caused by A2E (a by-product of the…
DetailsOur lead drug candidate, Ruvembri, is an orally administered small molecule in development for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases. Based on results from cellular and animal studies, we believe Ruvembri stimulates biological resilience through activation of the MAS receptor and may have the potential to improve muscle function and preserve strength, mobility and respiratory capacity…
