Glyscend Therapeutics - Company Profile

Glyscend Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical startup with the slogan "Non-invasive Therapies for Metabolic Disease." Founded in 2014 and headquartered in the United States, the company focuses on developing oral, gut-targeted polymer therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic indications such as type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions. Their lead drug, designed to replicate the metabolic effects of bariatric surgery, is orally administered, non-absorbed, and gut-restricted duodenal exclusion therapy with safety advantages, avoiding the invasive complications of surgeries and procedures. In June 2020, Glyscend Therapeutics secured a significant $20.50M Series A investment from Santé Ventures and the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund (MRCF). This funding is expected to further support their pioneering work in non-invasive therapies for metabolic diseases, marking a crucial milestone in their quest to revolutionize the treatment landscape for chronic conditions. With its innovative approach and strong investor support, Glyscend Therapeutics is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries.
