Clinical Stage
Biotech
“Probably the ultimate goal for every scientist in biomedical research, is to make an observation that may enable development of a cure/treatment against a devastating or fatal disorder. I have been privileged to experience such a journey. Starting years back when we identified the Vps10p-domain receptor sortilin and later showed it may represent an attractive target to normalize progranulin levels that are commonly too low in FTD, we today dosed the first human with our orally available sortilin antagonist - the first small molecule developed. Truly, this has been one of my greatest experiences in my professional life.”
Anders Nykjær, Founder
We are Vps10p pioneers
Mission and values
We build on the pioneering work in the Vps10p field by our founders and their deep, actionable insights into VPs10p sorting proteins’ key role in disease pathology. With this insight and taking inspiration from the courage of patients we seek to serve, we act with high integrity and a sense of urgency to bring innovative therapies to patients suffering with some of the most serious diseases with no current treatment options.
