Leveraging human genetics for better cardiometabolic health
Melio Bio pioneers targeted small-molecule therapies that tackle cardiometabolic disease delivering better-tolerated, accessible options that overcome limitations of existing approved therapies.
Targeting GPR75
Melio Bio is developing small-molecule inverse agonists against GPR75: a genetically validated target for next-generation obesity therapeutics. By inhibiting this receptor, we aim to reduce adiposity while preserving healthy muscle mass. Our therapeutic strategy goes beyond an isolated treatment for obesity; we leverage clinical data to map risk factors and halt the progression of severe, interconnected cardiometabolic comorbidities driven by GPR75 dysregulation.
Strategic project team
In collaboration with industry experts, our partnerships with Sygnature Discovery and the University of Aberdeen bring world-class target expertise and GPCR pharmacology experience to Melio Bio, ensuring our therapeutic programs are primed for clinical success.
Pod
expansion
We are actively expanding our cardiometabolic pod. By identifying novel targets, evaluating new assets, and forging strategic collaborations, we continue to scale our pipeline in line with MTM’s global vision.
