Casma Therapeutics is a biotechnology startup that operates in the healthcare sector, specifically in the field of disease treatment. The company's primary focus is on reprogramming autophagy, a natural process in the body that removes damaged components within cells to maintain and improve health. Casma's innovative approach involves enhancing this process to treat diseases that current drugs have been unable to effectively target.

The company's business model revolves around its proprietary PHLYT™ (Phagosome-Lysosome Targeting) platform. This platform initiates target-specific autophagic degradation of new disease targets, regardless of their size or complexity. In simpler terms, it enhances the body's natural process of removing damaged components in cells to treat diseases.

Casma Therapeutics serves a broad range of clients, including patients suffering from diseases that are currently difficult to treat with existing drugs. The company generates revenue through the development and commercialization of its PHLYT™ platform and related treatments.

Recently, the company has made significant strides in its operations, raising $46.0 million in Series C funding and presenting at the Stifel 2022 Healthcare Conference. These developments indicate a positive trajectory for the company's growth and its potential to make a significant impact in the healthcare sector.
