Neurophoenix

Neurophoenix is a biotechnology company developing a revolutionary treatment for chronic and acute optic neuropathies such as glaucoma or retina ischemia. This novel approach is based on a molecule derived from a virus that has the remarkable property of reactivating the survival mechanism of injured neurons. Our molecule is the result of many years of academic research carried out by Monique Lafon, director of the Viral Neuro-immunology laboratory at Institut Pasteur. This research identified a molecule produced by the rabies virus with the remarkable capacity to both keep neurons alive (neuroprotection) and also stimulate axon regrowth from damaged neurons (neuroregeneration).
