Within the European Union, all companies working with food products must provide their own complete and traceable hygiene documentation. This is almost always conducted in paper form. However, these checklists throw up a number of risks: they are easy to manipulate, the documentation is fragmented, and instructions for action often arrive far too late. The administrative burden posed by printing, distribution, collection, monitoring and archiving for two to five years presents a major strain for all parties involved.

FundaMental Pharma GmbH (FMP) is developing new types of drugs that act as ‘molecular spacers’ and disrupt a death signaling complex in the brain. Using this pharmacological strategy, FMP scientists succeeded in eliminating the toxic properties of the glutamate-controlled NMDA-type neurotransmitter receptor.

FMP has already identified first drug candidates that are currently in pre-clinical development and will be tested in humans within the next 2-3 years.

The discovery of an entirely new pharmacological principle ('interface targeting') raises hopes that previously untreatable neurodegenerative diseases in humans can be mitigated. Interface inhibitors open up new possibilities, both in terms of drug treatments and gene therapy approaches.

FMP was established in 2016 as a biotech start-up of the Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences (IZN) at Heidelberg University by Professor Hilmar Bading, Junior Professor Daniela Mauceri and Dr. Thomas Schulze.
