About your organization

GlioCure aims to cure glioblastoma, the most frequent and aggressive malignant brain tumor, which has an incidence of 5 cases per 100,000 persons in the EU and US, and causes 200,000 deaths each year worldwide with a median survival time at diagnosis of 14-16 months with standard treatment.

To answer the challenge of glioblastoma, GlioCure has adopted an innovative approach based on hyper specialization and development of glioblastoma-specific drugs.

GlioCure is currently focusing on the development of GC01, its lead product derived from the NFL-TBS technology plateform GlioVector.

GlioVector and GC01 are covered by two patent families, properties of Angers and McGill Montréal Universities, for which GlioCure owns worldwide exclusive rights for all human and animal pharmaceutical applications.

GlioCure is currently fully owned by its founders:
- Louis-Marie BACHELOT, MA, MSc, a biotech entrepreneur with 15 years of experience in the healthcare sector.
- Joël Eyer, PhD, HDR, Inserm Director of Research at LNBT lab in Angers. Joël is an internationally renowned expert of the neuronal cytoskeleton.
- Claire Lépinoux-Chambaud, PhD, R&D maturation engineer at the TTO Ouest Valorisation.

GlioCure’s team has been able to secure 299 K€ in pre-seed funding. The Company is now looking for a 2,4 M€ investment in seed and series A funding within 12-18 months in order to obtain an IND for GC01 and conclude an early stage deal by the end of 2019.
