Our Focus
We are developing a novel allergen immunotherapy that aims to provide not just a safe and effective therapy for food allergy patients, but also one that is convenient and fits into a family's lifestyle. Our first treatment is focused on reducing the risk of an anaphylactic reaction in patients with peanut allergy from an accidental exposure to peanuts.
