Evolution of Immunology

Inventing new ways to treat inflammatory diseases by developing therapies that address symptoms and halt progressive disease

Millions struggle with inflammatory conditions

That's why we're here.

Chronic inflammatory diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world, and those who live with them have a reduced quality of life.1

Many immunology-focused medications give patients a temporary fix to a longer-term problem, addressing symptom control rather than the root cause of disease.

Evommune is different. We strive to develop accessible innovations that are meant to address symptoms as well as help avoid disease progression and medical complications in the future.

Our approach

Tissue as a window to inflammation

We believe in the power of human tissue to better understand the immune system and uncover new pathways to vital medicines. By using our dynamic human tissue-based approach and platform as a window into the immune system, we can more quickly and efficiently choose the best candidates, moving the development process further, faster, and with less risk.

Improving patients’ lives beyond symptoms

We’re highly attuned to the serious comorbidities associated with systemic inflammatory diseases, because patients are at risk for more than they may realize. Our aim is to address the entire immune system—not just the presenting issue—and provide clear insights into what’s coming down the road for patients’ health to improve their quality of life, halt disease progression, and reduce mortality.

Next level partners, inside and out

We want to have the best people working on the best science, and that means being—and finding—excellent partners. We collaborate with exceptional teams to sharpen and advance the industry in order to take massive leaps forward and get better medicines to patients faster.

Our pipeline

We’re committed to evolving immunology. We believe we can more rapidly identify impactful therapies by leveraging our innovative human tissue-based approach. Our pipeline includes programs that are targeted to address highly prevalent inflammatory diseases. Our goal is to drive meaningful advances for patients with these diseases, designing all our programs to deliver best-in-class profiles.

End-to-end experts in drug discovery and development

We’ve done this before, and we’ll do it again, building off our extensive R&D experience in immunology and connecting diverse disciplines to discover and develop effective therapies that address inflammatory diseases. Our team has decades of combined expertise across all stages of discovery and development — we’ve built great companies and developed therapies that have helped tens of millions of patients worldwide.

“Available medicines have made progress treating inflammation, but we know there’s a need for safer, more effective therapies. That’s where Evommune will make a difference—we are committed to science and innovation to improve patients' lives.”
