Nura Bio is a biotechnology research company focused on neuroprotection and neural-immune restoration within the nervous system. Its strategy centers on two approaches: preventing neuronal loss to preserve function, and restoring the neuron-glia axis to enhance immune surveillance after neurological injury. The lead program targets SARM1, a sensor linked to axonal degeneration, with potential relevance to central, peripheral, and ocular neurological diseases. The company’s discovery engine and emerging multi-target pipeline are designed to address a broad range of neurological conditions. Based in South San Francisco, California, the organization operates as a small biotechnology firm with a focus on translational neurobiology. A recent development is the February 2025 appointment of Lahar Mehta as Senior Vice President/Head, Global Clinical Development, bringing experience from Amylyx Pharmaceuticals.
