About Afimmune
Afimmune is an Irish clinical-stage biotech developing novel small molecule drugs for rare and cardiometabolic diseases.

Founded in 2015 by industry veterans with deep experience in clinical research, the company is privately held and appears to be pre-revenue, advancing its pipeline through clinical development. Afimmune's strategy focuses on addressing significant unmet needs in SCD, a serious inherited disorder with limited treatment options and high morbidity.
