Vect-Horus (FR)

https://www.vect-horus.com

VECT-HORUS is a French biotechnology company that designs and develops peptide vectors to facilitate the delivery of drugs or imaging agents to the brain and other organs. By combining pharmaceutical agents with peptide vectors, VECT-HORUS enables their transport across the BBB that significantly prevents the brain delivery of most drugs. From this perspective, VECT-HORUS has identified and validated highly specific and stable vectors protected by several families of patents and patent applications. The company has already demonstrated proof of concept of the technology in animal models by vectorizing various molecules, among which the endogenous neuropeptide neurotensin, which is currently undergoing regulatory preclinical studies. The technology has also enabled the signing of a scientific collaboration agreement with SANOFI in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. Founded in 2005, VECT-HORUS is a spin-off from the CNRS-AMU NICN laboratory directed by Dr Michel Khrestchatisky. Its founders are Alexandre Tokay, Chairman, and Michel Khrestchatisky, Scientific Counsel. VECT-HORUS has 17 employees, mostly in R&D. VECT-HORUS is identified by the CNRS as one of the 15 success stories among 1 000 spin-offs from its laboratories. *
