Mabylon AG uses the therapeutic potential of naturally occuring human antibodies to treat allergies and neurodegenerative diseases. By participating in the Pfizer Ignite program, Mabylon plans to use Pfizer’s therapeutic development experience to accelerate the development of the active substance candidate MY006. The antibody product is intended to be effective in treating peanut allergies.
Mabylon’s research and development work is based on the findings of Professor Adriano Aguzzi and his colleagues at the University of Zurich and University Hospital Zurich.
