Jecure Therapeutics is a biotechnology research company pursuing the discovery of new therapeutics for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis. Based in San Diego, California, it sits within the region's active biotech ecosystem. The firm traces its academic roots to Dr. Ariel Feldstein, a gastroenterology expert at UC San Diego School of Medicine, and it combines his laboratory-derived hepatology biology with a team of experienced discovery scientists. Its lead program centers on inhibitors that target a novel inflammatory driver implicated in NASH. In the biotechnology research sector, the company concentrates on translating hepatology biology into early-stage drug discovery. With a very small team based in San Diego, it aims to develop therapeutic candidates that could be taken forward by pharmaceutical and biotech developers focused on liver disease.
