Our Mission: Cure Autoimmune Disease
At Parvus, we are developing products based on the novel Navacim™ platform technology which triggers endogenous generation of antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) with the potential to halt and cure autoimmune disease by restoring organ specific immune tolerance without compromising normal immune function.
Navacims™
Current approaches to treating autoimmune disease require broad suppression of the immune system to prevent the immune system from attacking a patient’s own tissue (self). In contrast, our Navacim platform generates disease specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) which reverse autoimmune disease by supressing autoimmune attacks on self without impairing normal immune function.
About Parvus
Parvus’ therapeutic platform is based on the discoveries of Pere Santamaria, M.D., Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Infectious Diseases and Julia McFarlane Chair in Diabetes Research at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary.
At Parvus, we are developing disease-specific Navacims as treatment for patients who suffer from autoimmune disease.
