Maxion Therapeutics Limited is a newly founded drug discovery company generating antibody-like therapeutics to target ion channel-driven diseases. A number of untreatable diseases such as chronic pain, autoimmune disorders and heart diseases involve ion channel dysfunction. Antibody drugs represent a potential solution but despite significant research spending clinical approval of this type of drug has not been achieved to date due to significant technical challenges. Maxion is addressing this unmet medical need with its proprietary Knotbody technology. wherein venom-derived cysteine-rich peptides (knottins) are fused into the surface of antibodies thereby combining the best features of both molecules.
