PeptiMimesis: New French biotech startup developing next generation therapeutic peptides

29 February 2016

PeptiMimesis today announces the inception and launch of its activities to develop a novel class of therapeutic peptides using a breakthrough technology from the University of Strasbourg and INSERM (French Institute of Health and Medical Research).

Strasbourg-based PeptiMimesis will now apply this cutting edge approach to a first set of 60 targets including the most promising in the chosen therapeutic areas.

Over the past two years, the tech transfer office SATT Conectus supported the team to develop the technology up to the proof-of-concept. PeptiMimesis was founded by three academic researchers, each having more than 15 years of experience in the field of transmembrane peptides, and Domain Therapeutics, a drug discovery company with a long and successful track record in targeting membrane receptors.
