🚀 Exciting News from Kayothera! 🧬💊 We're excited to announce the expansion of our Scientific Advisory Board to advance our mission of developing groundbreaking therapies: Chaired by Yibin Kang, PhD, Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Professor of Molecular Biology at the Ludwig Institute of Princeton University, members include: 🧬Domenico Accili, MD, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University and the Director of the Columbia University Diabetes Research Center. Dr. Accili is the 2017 Banting Medal Recipient and is highly recognized for his pioneering work on beta cell failure in type 2 diabetes and the treatment of type 1 diabetes through enteroendocrine cell conversion; 🧬Shridar Ganesan, PhD/MD, a prominent physician-scientist and medical oncologist at the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center, where he serves as the Director for the Center for Molecular Oncology and Professor of Medicine; 🧬Suzanne George, MD, a renowned clinical expert in sarcoma, serving as the clinical director of the Center for Sarcoma and Bone Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and an associate professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; and 🧬Kendall Mohler, PhD, was previously co-founder and chief scientific officer at Trubion Pharmaceuticals, the founding CSO at Juno Therapeutics, and a senior leader at Immunex, where he played a key role in the development of Enbrel (etanercept). This SAB will provide crucial insights as we develop our first-in-class, oral, small-molecule retinoid nuclear receptor pathway inhibitors.
About us
Kayothera specializes in inhibiting two of the last remaining nuclear receptors pathways to be drugged – the retinoid and rexinoid nuclear receptors. These pathways are clinically validated to drive adverse cardiometabolic and cancer outcomes, yet have no available inhibitors – until now. Kayothera’s unique approach blocks the formation of the retinoid or rexinoid nuclear ligands with novel, orally-available small molecules that have proven to be safe and effective medicines. We are developing these medicines to provide patients with new options for managing diabetes, obesity and cancer.

We're continuing to grow Kayothera into a development-stage company with our 1st-in-class therapies nearing clinical trials! With this growth, we are excited to announce the expansion of our Scientific Advisory Board. Chaired by our co-founder at Princeton University, Dr. Yibin Kang, our SAB welcomes Dr. Domenico Accili at Columbia University, one of the most influential type 2 diabetes researchers in the world whose pioneering work identified pancreatic islet dedifferentiation in #diabetes. Dr. Accili is joining a team that includes Dr. Shridar Ganesan at New York University and Dr. Suzanne George at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Inc, both of whom are physician-scientists at the forefront of oncology research and clinical development. Finally, we are excited to welcome Dr. Ken Mohler, the founding CSO at Juno Therapeutics, who has worked with the Kayothera team as an advisor for the past three years. This outstanding SAB will provide crucial insights as we advance our first-in-class, oral, small molecule therapies into IND-enabling studies for type 2 diabetes/cardiometabolic syndrome, first-in-human testing for oncology, and lead optimization for our next-generation obesity therapy. https://lnkd.in/gpq4q7N9

Excited to share the latest article in the Journal of Experimental Medicine on the intricate role of Vitamin A and retinoid signaling in human health! This publication highlights the crucial work we're doing at KayoThera in inhibiting this pathway. While Vitamin A is essential for our well-being, too much of it—or the use of synthetic retinoids—can lead to serious health issues, including hyperlipidemia, heart failure, hypothyroidism, and even a delayed cancer-promoting effect. This paper dives deep into how diseases like #diabetes, #obesity, and #cancer exploit this nuclear receptor pathway and explores new therapeutic strategies to combat these conditions. Many thanks to Mark Esposito, Ph.D, Yibin Kang, and John Amory for their vital contributions to this article. Your expertise and collaboration were instrumental in bringing this research to life! https://lnkd.in/gkd9VpUm
