The company is focused on exosomes engineering to formulate a range of drugs that are deliverable to difficult-to-reach regions in the body, including passage through blood brain barrier into the central nervous system.
Evox Therapeutics said that its exosome technology significantly improves and facilitates delivery of various therapeutic molecules such as antibodies, nucleic acids, proteins and small molecules.
Currently, the company is formulating exosome-based drugs for rare, life-threatening diseases with significant unmet need.
The company is also working on forming alliances with pharmaceutical companies to explore the use of exosome-based medicines in treating a variety of other diseases.
