Griphingo Pharmaceuticals

Groningen-based Griphingo Pharmaceuticals conducts applied research into the development of an innovative inhalation therapy for COPD patients. For the development of this therapy, the start-up works with a network of COPD and medicine development experts from the Northern region.

Current COPD treatment is not effective enough to suppress the inflammatory reactions in the lungs of COPD patients and also has many side effects. Griphingo hopes to curb these inflammatory reactions with a new molecule, which has an alternative target compared to existing medication, in order to significantly improve the quality of life of COPD patients. In the coming period, Griphingo will focus on optimising the molecules in collaboration with Symeres and testing efficacy in collaboration with Aquilo.
