Akanocure is a drug development company with a focus on orphan and unmet needs in oncology.
Metastasis is the spread of cancer to surrounding tissues and distant organs. It is responsible for 90% of cancer deaths. Medical efforts usually fail in managing the disease once it spreads through the body. Akanocure's mission is to find therapeutic approaches that block metastatic processes. The team at Akanocure is applying the expertise of its members throughout the drug discovery and development process to create novel small molecules that will positively impact the lives of cancer patients.
