Our mission at Plantman is to revolutionize the treatment of Huntington's disease, a devastating hereditary condition characterized by involuntary movements, cognitive decline, and ultimately, premature death. Currently, there is no cure for this debilitating disease.
Drawing inspiration from the remarkable resilience of plants against harmful protein aggregates, we have identified a groundbreaking plant protein with the potential to suppress the toxic proteins associated with Huntington's disease.
Our primary objective is to engineer SPP, a plant-derived protein, to specifically target and break down the harmful protein aggregates in patients. This innovative therapeutic approach holds the promise of potentially curing Huntington's disease for the first time, offering hope to patients and families affected by this condition.
