Francisco LePort is co-founder and CEO of Gordian Biotechnology. Gordian has discovered a first-in-class, disease modifying, dual-MoA OA drug target, and is producing human and animal therapeutics against this target.
My organisation
At Gordian we have scaled in vivo discovery and validation of novel gene targets, toward curing chronic and age-related diseases. Using our proprietary platform in collaboration with University of Florida, we screened over 250 gene targets in equine models of spontaneous OA. We identified a first-in-class, disease modifying, dual-MoA OA target, have a clinical development candidate in IND enabling studies, and are developing an injectible protein therapeutic against the same target for companion animals.
