Virobay is focused on the development and commercialization of novel drugs through the utilization of small molecule cysteine proteases inhibitors, a diverse class of enzyme proteases, for a variety of conditions, including neuropathic pain, autoimmune diseases and fibrosis. The foundation of Virobay's proprietary cathepsin platform and the Virobay management team were spun-out from Celera Genomics, which was then a leader in cathepsin research. Virobay's clinical pipeline currently includes product candidates in neuropathic pain, dermatology, autoimmune disease and fibrosis.
