We are building a start-up that is developing a treatment for mental health conditions by modulating an immunological protein.
Are you the driven entrepreneur who can build and lead this venture as the CEO?
The invention
We currently seek a CEO for a start-up in the field of neuro-immunology. The start-up is going to use antibodies or small molecules to neutralize a protein that is implicated in illnesses such as ADHD, OCD and anxiety.
Current pharmacological treatments lack specificity and effectiveness. This new targeted approach promises to revolutionise the field by creating a whole new class of therapeutics.
This early-stage project shows encouraging results in small mammal studies, both as a diagnostic indicator of disease severity and in therapeutic response.

- Develop a comprehensive drug discovery & development plan and funding plan
- Coordinate product development from animal studies into a clinical solution
- Design and coordinate clinical trials
- Engage relevant development and commercial partners

You are:
