  • History

    Remedium is a biotechnology company focused on the development of treatments for large unmet clinical needs. To enable this, we developed a revolutionary gene therapy platform, which enables safe, effective, and durable delivery of therapeutic genes while allowing for simple post-treatment dose adjustment. The Prometheus™ adjustable gene therapy platform enables replacement of a broad range of subcutaneously administered protein treatments with a single injection, adjustable dose gene therapy. The system has an exceptionally high degree of specificity and remains localized to the site of the subcutaneous injection, offering a safe and durable, single injection alternative, at a fraction of the current protein-based therapeutic treatment cost. Remedium’s pipeline includes several disease modifying treatments with unprecedented efficacy in the fields of endocrinology (weight loss and type 2 diabetes), immunology, neurology, and musculoskeletal diseases.

  • Vision

    Our Vision at Remedium is very simple: We firmly believe that any disease can be cured. This vision creates a fundamental understanding and allows us to approach any therapy like a simple problem: 1) identify the root cause, 2) determine the most optimal treatment approach, 3) validate the treatment approach. Our vision enables us with the drive and motivation, while our systematic approach enables us with the tools to bring new treatments to patients.

  • Culture

    We strive to achieve a corporate culture that is grounded in our belief that every opinion is valuable, every human being is highly capable, and every life is sacred. Derived from this, our culture is grounded in 5 core fundamentals: 1) Collaborative Innovation, 2) Integrity and Transparency, 3) Mutual Respect, 4) Unquenchable Thirst for Finding Cures, 5) Diligent Drive and Execution.

Background

Working toward the cure is in our DNA,
a brilliant today for a brighter tomorrow.
