Our Science

Welcome to Montis Biosciences, where innovation meets precision in the pursuit of transformative therapeutics. Montis is committed to pioneering cutting-edge solutions that specifically target the perivascular microenvironment in diseases driven by Immune-mediated Chronic Inflammation, with a primary focus on oncology and neurodegeneration.

Vascular and perivascular dysfunction often remains overlooked, yet actively contributes to the compromised immune microenvironment in diseases characterized by chronic Inflammation. At Montis, we recognize the potential of the vasculature to play a pivotal role in guiding and instructing a faulty immune composition within diseased tissues. The vasculature serves as a strategic immune interface between circulating blood and the underlying tissues. On one hand, it determines which immune cells gain entry into the tissue, while, on the other hand, a chronically inflamed vasculature further instructs faulty immune phenotypes in the perivascular space. Our mission at Montis is to develop antibody therapeutics that fine-tune the biology of the perivascular microenvironment, unlocking unprecedented benefits in the fields of oncology and neurodegeneration.

What sets Montis apart is our distinctive and patient-centric approach to target identification. We understand that each patient is unique, and our commitment to personalized medicine is at the core of everything we do. We leverage a robust human-based experimental platform that not only helps in uncovering disease vulnerabilities but also drives effective drug discovery programs. 

Backed by leading life science investors including Droia Ventures, Polaris Partners, ALSA Ventures, and Pfizer Ventures, Montis Biosciences stands at the forefront of innovation, driven by a shared vision to revolutionize healthcare.

Join us on this journey as we redefine the boundaries of therapeutic innovation, bringing effective solutions to those in need.
