Apitope Technology (Bristol) Ltd.

Miscellaneous Commercial ServicesCommercial Services Apitope Technology (Bristol) Ltd. is a European biotech company developing therapeutic vaccines for treating autoimmune and allergic diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, Graves' disease, allergies and organ transplant rejection.

The firm's strategy is to position itself as a significant player in the therapeutic peptide space and make it a partner of choice for pharmaceutical companies keen to develop disease modifiers for autoimmune conditions. It has a highly experienced senior management team, with a proven track record in discovering and developing innovative compounds. The company's lead product candidate is under investigation for the potential treatment of multiple sclerosis and is currently in Phase I clinical development.
