CALDRE receives CHF 150’000 to develop innovative liver disease therapeutics. https://lnkd.in/dSzGTHUz Congratulations to amazing team of founders: Dr. Felix Alexander Baier, Dr. Adrian Keogh, Dr. Tarik Elamri and Corina Krummenacher About CALDRE - Problem & Market: The liver produces 800 ml of bile daily; Cholestasis, caused by autoimmune diseases or unhealthy lifestyles, leads to serious liver injury and metabolic issues, necessitating 10% of liver transplants. Targeting chronic cholestatic diseases without effective treatments, they address a $2.5B market for 370,000 patients in Europe, the US, China, and Japan. Solution: their novel therapeutic target uses liver-specific GalNAc siRNA, preventing liver injury in cholestasis models. This approach provides improved efficacy and safety. #SwissStartups #VentureKick
