Advancing
first-in-class
therapies to
restore energy
homeostasis

OrsoBio is developing novel approaches to treat patients with severe metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, severe dyslipidemias, NASH, and more.
OrsoBio’s therapies target fundamental pathways of energy metabolism, and our team of physicians and scientists draw on decades of drug development experience.

Why OrsoBio?

The name OrsoBio is inspired by the remarkable metabolic adaptability of bears (“orso” in Italian) that enables them to avoid serious sequelae despite extreme environmental challenges before and during hibernation, including absence of food, cold temperatures, and immobilization. In this context, OrsoBio is dedicated to developing therapies that restore energy homeostasis in patients with severe metabolic disorders, in some cases, by targeting pathways relevant to maintaining energy balance in the healthy bear.
