Science

Overview

One of our key competitive advantages is that our systemically dosed product candidates, due to the improvements we have made using our protease engineering platform, can be delivered subcutaneously which is less invasive, more convenient and more efficacious than intravenous IV drugs currently on the market. Our SQ product candidates demonstrate prolonged duration of activity enabling them to provide continuous therapeutic levels.
