Artemis Therapeutics, Inc. is a development‐stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development of novel therapies for inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases. Founded in the early 2000s and headquartered in Irvine, California, Artemis focuses on translating scientific discoveries into product candidates aimed at addressing the underlying biological drivers of osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders. Through a combination of in‐house discovery efforts and strategic licensing agreements, the company has built a diversified pipeline targeting key molecular pathways involved in cartilage degradation and chronic inflammation.
The company’s lead program centers on a proprietary anti‐IL‐6 receptor nanobody, designed to block pro‐inflammatory signaling implicated in joint damage and pain. In preclinical studies, this molecule has demonstrated the ability to reduce cartilage breakdown and inflammatory markers in animal models of osteoarthritis. Artemis has also advanced a small‐molecule cathepsin K inhibitor through preclinical development, aiming to preserve bone and cartilage integrity by directly inhibiting an enzyme critical to tissue degradation.
Artemis Therapeutics serves patients primarily in North America and Europe. The company maintains collaborative relationships with academic research centers and contract manufacturing organizations to accelerate its development timeline. A robust intellectual property portfolio underpins its lead candidates, with patents covering composition of matter, methods of use, and novel delivery approaches intended to improve therapeutic breadth and patient compliance.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Scott Roy, Artemis Therapeutics is guided by a board of directors and scientific advisors with extensive experience in immunology, biopharma development, and regulatory affairs. The management team is committed to advancing its pipeline toward clinical validation and eventual commercialization, with the overarching goal of providing new treatment options for patients with limited alternatives in the osteoarthritis and inflammatory disease markets.
