We’re focused on the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) pathway, which is responsible for regulating weight and hunger.
By targeting the MC4R pathway, we aim to develop therapeutics
for rare genetic diseases of obesity, including:
Proopiomelanocortin | Leptin Receptor (LEPR) | Bardet-Biedl |
Alström | POMC or LEPR | Smith-Magenis |
SRC1 Deficiency | MC4R Deficiency | SH2B1 Deficiency |
