Rockfish Bio, a spin-off of BOKU and Medical University of Vienna, convinced the jury with its novel senolytic drug candidates, which specifically target and remove senescent cells — aged, dysfunctional cells that accumulate in tissues over time and contribute to chronic diseases. By leveraging a specific metabolic pathway found in these aged cells, Rockfish Bio's compounds eliminate them without harming healthy cells.
Preclinical studies have shown remarkable effects, including extension of both lifespan and healthspan and restoration of neuromuscular function, supporting the therapeutic potential of these compounds in promoting healthy aging and treating age-related conditions.
“We are honored to receive the S&B Award. This recognition is a great motivation and validation of our mission to develop effective therapies against aging-related diseases,” said Dr. Ingo Lämmermann, CSO/COO of Rockfish Bio.
First results from ongoing studies in preclinical disease models show best-in-class efficacy in stroke and chronic kidney disease!
