A new way of approaching the problem

Aeon Respire's founders spent over 10 years studying and thinking about the roots of inflammatory and obstructive respiratory disease. Through this work they developed a deep appreciation for the importance of structural lung cells as both the instigators and mediators of airway narrowing in disease. This led to the prioritization of a new kind of target that's expressed in both the smooth muscle and the epithelium. They're now bringing their extensive expertise in this area to advance a better approach to achieve long-lasting and robust breathing health for millions.
