Function Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately held company aiming to translate recent findings that parmodulins, small molecules that bind to the cell surface receptor PAR1 at an alternative (allosteric) site, promote anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective signaling. This novel therapeutic class is under investigation for treating kidney disease and a range of thrombosis and/or inflammation-related disorders. The company was founded based on compounds and assays in the lab of the founder Dr. Chris Dockendorff, complemented by research from collaborators including those at Harvard Medical School, Leipzig University, Versiti Blood Research Institute, and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
