Our Pipeline
Cancer therapy for animals is at a threshold to leverage immunotherapy advances developed in human health over the last 20 years. We are applying these biologic approaches
to make cancer care
more accessible for pets.
Treatment of osteoarthritis has mainly focused on managing the associated pain. We are focused on applying biologic approaches that are disease modifying and have potential for regenerative outcomes in addition to managing pain.
