About Us:
Larimar Therapeutics Inc. is a publicly held clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for patients suffering from complex rare diseases using its novel cell penetrating peptide technology platform. Our lead product candidate, Nomlabofusp (CTI-1601), is a subcutaneously administered, recombinant fusion protein intended to deliver human frataxin (FXN), an essential protein to the mitochondria of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia is a rare, progressive, and fatal disease in which patients are unable to produce sufficient FXN due to a genetic abnormality.
We have assembled an experienced management team, each of whom has over 20 years of pharmaceutical industry experience. Our management team, employees, and consultants have significant expertise in discovery, non-clinical and clinical development, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and CMC.
Our company's strategy is to become a leader in the treatment of rare diseases by leveraging our cell-penetrating technology platform and applying our team's know-how to the development of Nomlabofusp and our pipeline projects. We are best characterized by entrepreneurial and scientific leadership and a participatory workforce committed to success.
