GeneCode ordered a Freedom to Operate search on a group of chemical compounds from international patent and trademark attorneys. (Project period: 07.04.2021-08.08.2021). According to the final analysis, the patents were discovered alive and are not relevant concerning GeneCode’s freedom to operate. The project was partly financed by the European Regional Development Fund with 1760 euros.

Current Parkinson’s Disease treatments only relieve symptoms without halting the progression of the disease, and their use is complicated by severe adverse effects emerging as the disease progresses. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new therapies for PD management. We developed a small molecule compound, BT13, targeting receptor tyrosine kinase RET. Research article “GDNF…

Digital RESI Europe. GeneCode participated in the Virtual Partnering Conferences (23-25 March 2020).

The new molecule shows promise for Parkinson’s treatment. Recent research in mouse models suggests that a new molecule might be able to tap into key neurochemical mechanisms and help treat Parkinson’s disease. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/new-molecule-shows-promise-for-parkinsons-treatment

The summary of our findings written in layman’s terms can be found in the press release from Parkinson’s UK. A promising molecule, called BT13, has offered hope for a new treatment that could stop or slow Parkinson’s, something no treatment can currently do. https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/news/bt13-molecule-offers-hope-halting-parkinsons

Our first paper describing the effects of a small molecule GDNF mimetic, a compound called BT13, in a cell-based model of Parkinson’s and in vivo was published last week in the Journal of Movement Disorders! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/mds.27943

GeneCode was selected to present PD development at the 17th edition of the Tech Tour 2019 Nordic Venture Forum in Copenhagen, 30th- 31st October.
