2021: NovoBiome ("the Company"), a drug discovery company focused on the critical nexus of liver, intestinal diseases and the gut microbiome, has been launched today by a team of world-leading experts in the fields of Microbiology and Artificial Intelligence. The new company will develop breakthrough Live Biotherapeutics Products (LBPs)
1 targeting the microbiome-gut-liver axis. NovoBiome is building a comprehensive, disruptive ex-vivo research and discovery platform to analyze the symbiotic relationship between the microbiota and the human intestine.
NovoBiome's first LBP drug candidate, ADC-001, targets potential first-in-class therapies for hepatic conditions such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis (NASH). NAFLD has become the most common cause of chronic liver diseases, and can lead to NASH, a more serious condition. Due to the growing epidemic of metabolic disorders with the development of Western lifestyles, the NASH market is rising rapidly and is expected to reach $18.3 billion by 2026 in the US and Europe's 5 largest markets, a CAGR of 63% from 2016
