Kanyos Bio is a biotechnology research company based in Cambridge, MA, focused on developing immune tolerance approaches for autoimmune diseases. It pursues antigen-specific, disease-modifying therapies for type-1 diabetes and celiac disease, leveraging the immunology expertise of its sister company Anokion and the clinical translation experience of Astellas. The underlying technology originated at EPFL in Switzerland and emerged through collaboration with Anokion. In 2019, Anokion acquired Kanyos Bio, tying the two entities more closely in their immunology programs. The organization serves patients with the targeted conditions and operates as a relatively small team within the biotechnology research sector.
