DiogenX

DiogenX is a biotech company focused on regenerating insulin-producing beta cells for the treatment of diabetes. Founded in 2020 based on the research of leading type 1 (T1D) diabetes scientist Patrick Collombat on pancreatic beta cell regeneration, DiogenX is developing first-in-class recombinant proteins designed for the treatment of T1D.

DiogenX’ lead program is focused on modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway to regenerate pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells to offer a disease-modifying therapy for type 1 diabetes. It is currently in preclinical development.

DiogenX is supported by a network of world-leading experts in diabetes and a consortium of investors including diabetes and biopharma leaders Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund, Roche Venture Fund, Eli Lilly and Company, Omnes, JDRF T1D Fund and Adbio partners.

The company, co-founded by Patrick Collombat, Jean-Pascal Tranié and Benjamin Charles, is based in Marseille, France, with research labs in Nice, France.
