      • Treating tissue remodeling diseases at the biophysical interface:

         

        leveraging the power of mechanobiology

      • Our Approach

        More efficacious, safer drugs through mechanobiology

        By leveraging targets triggered by physical forces, we are able to equisitely target active disease areas and treat disease phenotypes rather than promiscuous biochemical signals.

         

      • Our Team

        40+ years of combined experience in Fibrosis Research and Biotech Start-up.
