About Us

RemAb Therapeutics is a European, multi-asset, preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. 

 

Our aim is to become leaders in the sector providing sanitary solutions by eliminating specific antibodies. We expect to achieve this goal by introducing multiple products that are pioneers in the sector and reaching their commercialization worldwide.

 

Solving health problems

is our Mission

RemAb Therapeutics is committed to providing a novel treatment to combat a global threat.

Our most advanced candidate, RA01, could become the first preventive solution for infections associated with Gram-negative bacteria in the ICU. We have obtained data both in vitro and in vivo that prove the efficacy of our first candidate.

RemAb Therapeutics is developing, with the same technology, three more programs that point to other clinical needs not covered. These programs will be included in the portfolio soon.

 

We truly believe that our strategy will have a great impact on the patient's health and commercial applications to treat different pathologies mediated by antibodies.

    Professor at Rush Medical College, (Chicago, USA) where he studies the regeneration of ischemic myocardium, after myocardial infarction, induced by nanoparticles with αGal.

    He discovered anti-αGal antibodies as the most abundant natural antibodies in humans. He also identified the α-gal epitope as the mammalian antigen that binds to anti-αGal antibodies, determined the unique evolution of anti-αGal antibodies and α-gal epitopes in primates and studied the molecular basis of this evolution.

    He has developed methods to use anti-αGal antibodies in several therapies, including: immunotherapy against cancer, to increase immunogenicity of vaccines, acceleration of wound healing and burns and induction of tissue regeneration.
