Avilar Therapeutics is an American biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the discovery and development of extracellular protein degraders. The company is based in an undisclosed location. The company has developed a proprietary discovery platform that includes novel, high-affinity, small molecule asgpr ligands and advanced modeling of the biophysics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of atac mediated endocytosis and degradation. Avilar is developing atacs, a new class of protein degraders that shuttle disease-causing proteins from circulation to the endolysosome where the unwanted proteins are degraded. The company is leveraging their atac platform to create a broad and diverse pipeline of first-in-class extracellular protein degraders. The company was founded by Nathaniel Brooks Horwitz and Jamie Kasuboski. The CEO is Daniel S. Grau.
