Underlying
PIERIS PHARMACEUTICALS

Pieris Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops Anticalin-based drugs. The company's development plans focuses on two primary pillars, respiratory diseases and IO. The company's respiratory Anticalin drug candidate, PRS-060, binds to the IL-4 receptor alpha-chain, thereby inhibiting the actions of IL-4 and IL-13, two cytokines (small proteins mediating signaling between cells within the human body) known to be key mediators in the inflammatory cascade that causes asthma and other inflammatory diseases. The company's PRS-080 is a polyethylene glyco, conjugated Anticalin protein that binds to hepcidin, a natural regulator of iron levels in the blood.
