About Casma Therapeutics
Casma Therapeutics is developing novel cellular degradation approaches based on the autophagy pathway to initiate new target areas for drug discovery and development that will profoundly impact the lives of patients. Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that contributes to overall cellular homeostasis. The autophagy machinery focuses on larger and more complex disease targets, such as organelles, protein aggregates, and large signaling complexes, and directs these targets to the lysosome for elimination. Through selective degradation of disease targets, Casma expects to arrest or reverse the progression of disease in multiple oncology, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders.
