About

Jnana Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, that leverages its proprietary RAPID chemoproteomics platform to discover small molecule medicines for rare genetic metabolic and immune-mediated diseases. The RAPID platform enables systematic identification of unique binding sites on highly validated but historically hard-to-drug protein targets, dramatically accelerating the path from target to clinical candidate. Jnana's lead program, JNT-517, is an oral allosteric inhibitor targeting phenylketonuria (PKU), a serious inherited metabolic disorder; in 2024 the company was acquired by Otsuka Pharmaceutical for approximately $800 million, becoming a subsidiary of Otsuka America.
