About Casma Therapeutics
Casma Therapeutics is harnessing autophagy by developing novel degradation approaches to open 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, but when autophagy is perturbed, inefficient autophagic flux contributes to numerous diseases. By selectively boosting autophagy and degradation of disease targets in the lysosome, Casma expects to be able to arrest or reverse the progression of disease processes such as neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, inflammation, muscle degeneration and oncology.
