Eris Biotech
Private Company
Total funding raised: $19.5M
Overview
Eris Biotech is a private, preclinical-stage biotech targeting a fundamental challenge in oncology: immune evasion. The company's core asset is a first-in-class, oral small-molecule inhibitor designed to reawaken the immune system against cancer by blocking a specific evasion pathway, distinct from checkpoint inhibitors. This mechanism, which is not dependent on a single protein target, could offer a safer, more convenient treatment option with applicability across a wider range of patients. Backed by undisclosed investors, the company is positioned in the competitive but high-potential field of next-generation immuno-oncology.
Technology Platform
Discovery platform focused on identifying and targeting novel immune evasion pathways in cancer, leading to the development of oral small-molecule inhibitors that do not rely on traditional protein targets.
