Company Summary
Energesis is a biotechnology company developing drugs for
obesity and diabetes by targeting brown fat. Our approach is a novel strategy
directed at increasing the body’s ability to burn stored fat. All attempts to date to
combat obesity have focused on reducing energy intake, vs. Energesis' approach
of increasing energy expenditure. Our team brings a strong entrepreneurial
record and world-class scientific, medical, and drug development expertise.
Available Opportunities
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....
