The start-up develops a technology to transport drugs to the brain . The company will use the funds to advance therapeutic tests since, although it has identified the drug to deliver to this organ according to the group of pediatric brain tumors, it must improve transport.

In this way, the company would increase the effectiveness of brain disease treatments with its technology, while reducing side effects. Teixidó assures that the objective is "to validate the platform and for a pharmaceutical company to look at it to acquire the company . "

Gate2Brain seeks to improve the effectiveness of brain disease treatments

The company is a spin off of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute, the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute of the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital (SJD). The company has its headquarters in the Barcelona Science Park.

Gate2Brain envisions its technology will allow drugmakers to recover promising drugs that don’t make it to market because they can’t be transported to the brain. The company’s CEO states that "98% of drug candidates are discarded because they do not pass the barrier and our technology would allow investment in these drugs not to be left in a corner." The company is in contact with some pharmaceutical companies .

The start-up plans to open a financing round of between two million euros and three million euros in April 2021 . Gate2Brain estimates to begin the clinical trial in 2023. The company has carried out some tests at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona and has observed that its technology would have applicability in various tumors.

Gate2Brain has received funding from the Botín Foundation

Gate2Brain has received support from the Botín Foundation’s Mind The Gap Program, which invests up to half a million euros per project . The start-up obtained online research support from the CaixaImpulse program of the La Caixa Foundation and funding from the Agency for Management and University Research Grants (Agaur) in the Knowledge Industry Grants call.

The company currently has five workers. Gate2Brain, founded by Teixidó and three other entrepreneurs, has Marc Ramis, CEO of Ninevah Therapeutics, as an advisor. The founders control the majority of the company’s shareholders.
