As all human living cells, cancer cells need energy to self-renew and survive. Lysosome is a key compartment implicated in cancer cells survival. Among the acquired modifications in cancer cells, changes in lysosomal phenotype and functions are well described, making lysosome a target of interest for novel therapies. Genoscience Pharma focuses on new approaches based on the depriving of cancer cells from essential nutrients by disrupting lysosomal functions.
We leverage our deep knowledge of underlying biological processes to develop innovative and disruptive technology, with potent small molecule drug candidates that directly target lysosomal functions, implicated in the growth, spread and resistance of cancers. We retain global development and commercialization rights of GNS561.
