Bacainn Therapeutics is developing novel therapies that target the innate immune system to address uncontrolled inflammation. The company was founded on novel and extensive insights into neutrophil and inflammasome biology which allow for potentially new and bold approaches to treating inflammatory diseases. Bacainn’s lead asset, BT051, is currently in clinical development for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Identification of proprietary compounds that simultaneously block NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasomes led to the breakthrough discovery of BT032, which is being investigated for therapeutic application in respiratory and other inflammasome-mediated diseases. Founded in 2017, Bacainn is funded by Morningside Ventures. For more information, https://bacainntherapeutics.com.
