Samus Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately held biopharmaceutical company based in the Boston area, focused on developing therapeutics that target the epichaperome, a protein complex implicated in various diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The company's lead oncology program aims to inhibit this complex, with clinical studies currently in early-phase stages for breast cancer and myelofibrosis, while its central nervous system program targets neurodegenerative epichaperome activity through a separate compound being investigated in Alzheimer’s disease along with biomarker efforts to map the epichaperome distribution in the brain. In parallel, Samus is advancing companion biomarker programs that support imaging and cellular analysis to accompany its therapeutic initiatives. Founded by researchers associated with prominent institutions and led by CEO Jonathan Lewis, the company operates from Massachusetts and maintains a research-focused portfolio that integrates oncology and neurology efforts.
