About
Modulight Biotherapeutics is developing a novel optogenetics-based platform, eOPN3, to treat severe neurological disorders. This innovative approach uses gene therapy to introduce light-sensitive proteins into targeted neurons, allowing for precise control of brain activity using light. The platform aims to provide lasting relief for conditions such as trigeminal neuropathic pain, drug-resistant epilepsy, and movement disorders by silencing pathological neural communication. The company emphasizes its strong team of scientists and clinicians dedicated to transforming the future of neurology.
