RORγ plays a central role in T-helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation and inflammatory processes. By targeting this transcription factor, Aardvark aims to address a range of autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. The company’s lead programs consist of selective RORγ inverse agonists designed to suppress pathogenic Th17-driven responses in conditions such as psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and other chronic inflammatory disorders. Leveraging a proprietary screening platform, structural biology capabilities and medicinal chemistry expertise, Aardvark has advanced multiple preclinical candidates toward IND-enabling studies. These programs are supported by in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, biomarker development and toxicology assessments conducted at the company’s Cambridge research facilities. Founded by a team of immunology and drug-development veterans, Aardvark Therapeutics is led by President and CEO Marshall Bolog, Ph.D. The leadership team combines translational pharmacology, clinical development and regulatory affairs expertise to guide the company’s pipeline through preclinical and early clinical stages. Aardvark pursues strategic collaborations with academic institutions and industry partners to enhance its RORγ portfolio and is positioned to advance its therapeutic candidates into human trials while exploring global licensing and development opportunities.AI Generated.
