Polyneuron develops a new drug class for the treatment of autoimmune diseases affecting the nervous system. There is a significant medical need for effective and safe therapies in this area. Our Antibody-Catch" platform technology enables the rational design of immunomodulatory compounds which highly selectively eliminate disease-causing autoantibodies. The platform carries the potential to realize breakthrough therapies for specific autoimmune conditions.
