Our approach is completely novel, directed at increasing the body's ability to dissipate stored energy by activating brown fat. Brown fat is a flexible tissue that can expand and become more active when recruited or atrophy when not stimulated. Obese patients have less brown fat than lean people, and a drug recruiting brown fat will induce weight loss.
Energesis uses proprietary human brown fat stem cells as tool to identify small molecule compounds or biologicals recruiting brown fat.
Energesis is the only company with a platform for discovering agents that can accomplish this.
