Description

    Akelos Inc. is a biopharmaceutical clinical company focused on the translation of innovative science into treatment. The company currently is developing novel non-narcotic drugs for the treatment of neuropathic pain. The goal of Akelos is to address some of today’s most pressing areas of unmet needs.

    Akelos holds an exclusive worldwide license with Columbia University and Cornell University and is working in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine.

    Researchers at Weill Cornell University and Columbia University have developed novel compounds for the treatment of neuropathic pain, resulting in intellectual property that is jointly owned by Cornell and Columbia. Akelos has licensed this intellectual property and is developing a treatment for neuropathic pain using the novel compounds.
