Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) February 24, 2016 -- Innovations with Ed Begley Jr. announced today that they will feature Orphazyme ApS in an upcoming episode, airing third quarter 2016 via Discovery Channel. Dates and show times TBA.
Orphazyme ApS was founded in June 2009 with the aim of developing heat shock protein based therapy for the treatment of diseases caused by defects in the function and/or metabolism of proteins.
In this episode of Innovations viewers will be educated on Orphazyme’s development programs, which target diseases that are associated with aberrations in the protein homeostasis, such as characterized by loss-of-function of one or more proteins or the formation of protein-containing aggregates.
“We are very excited to educate people about the efforts it takes to develop innovative new drugs for patients suffering from these detrimental diseases,” said Thomas Kirkegaard, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Orphazyme. “Discovering and understanding novel aspects of human biology and translating this into potential therapies is a herculean effort, which demands that all good forces act together and strive towards the same goal - a safe and efficacious treatment for these terrible diseases.”
“Orphazyme is pioneering heat shock protein based therapies to become a leading biopharmaceutical company,” said Michele Nehls, Senior Producer for the series. “The company is dedicated to the development of paradigm-changing medicines to improve the life of affected patients and their families.
