Circumvent

We are now applying these insights across a variety of related diseases with diligence and precision. We are investigating several therapeutic strategies for modulating the palmitoylome. At Circumvent, we are focused initially on CLN1 Batten Disease, which is one of the most common and most severe forms of Batten Disease. In the next 20 years, neurodegenerative disease is expected to overtake cancer as the second leading cause of death worldwide. Circumvent was formed with the mission of developing precision medicines for neurodegenerative disease, starting with Batten Disease. We built an experienced team of scientists and clinicians to focus on diseases with high-fidelity, predictive animal models, a clear clinical development path, and the potential to reach the market quickly. Batten disease is a group of rare neurodegenerative diseases that typically present during childhood and progress rapidly.
