Atticus in the News

Atticus Pharma is a therapeutics company developing drugs for immunodermatology and associated diseases. Our two initial programs are for the treatment of cutaneous lupus lesions and androgenic alopecia. Atticus licensed from Zylö Therapeutics the Z-pod® sustained-release technology that originated at Albert Einstein College of Medicine that was further developed at Zylö. The technology provides a depot-like effect and enables delivery of therapeutic agents (small molecules, peptides, siRNA) in a sustained-release manner. Some of the news items listed below were issued by Zylö prior to the license being forged, but relate to Atticus and its various programs.
