Confo Therapeutics

Confo Therapeutics is a drug discovery company building a pipeline of GPCR targeted therapeutics addressing unmet medical need. The company was founded in 2015 as a spin-off from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and VIB and capitalizes on the Confo body technology developed by Jan Steyaert at VIB Structural Biology Research Center, Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Confobodies are camel single domain antibodies that stabilize distinct druggable conformers of flexible protein targets and reveal previously inaccessible structural features. Confo Therapeutics uses these Confobody-stabilized functional conformations of GPCRs as a superior starting point for drug discovery empowering the discovery of novel agonists for better therapeutic intervention.
