Overview

Carus Therapeutics was a biotechnology company primarily focused on the development of novel treatments for Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder. The company's research centered on identifying and developing small molecule activators of the MECP2 protein, which is deficient or dysfunctional in patients with the condition. Spun out from academic research at the University of Dundee, Carus aimed to address the underlying genetic cause of Rett Syndrome rather than just managing symptoms. Despite its specialized focus and support from patient advocacy groups, the company was dissolved in early 2021.
