About:
Avalo Therapeutics is creating treatments for patients with unmet clinical needs in immunology and rare genetic diseases. At the core of Avalo’s therapeutics is immune regulation by targeting the LIGHT-signaling network. LIGHT is a newly recognised cytokine with inflammatory actions in the lung, gut and skin, encoded by the TNFSF14 gene. The LIGHT immune regulatory network is suggested to be dysregulated and a disease-driving mechanism in autoimmune and inflammatory reactions. By reducing signaling through the LIGHT-signaling network, Avalo hopes to moderate immune dysregulation. Avalo’s pipeline includes various biologics focused on dysregulated inflammation via the LIGHT-signaling network with several in clinical stages.
