speratum is a cancer therapeutics company exploring a new frontier in the fight against cancer which targets the pathways that give rise to cancer using microrna-based oncology therapy. our lead candidate is a microrna therapeutic against pancreatic cancer, offering hope for a potential treatment to this devastating disease. microrna therapy is a bright future for cancer treatments. micrornas are small molecules of rna (ribonucleic acid) that are naturally occurring in the human body. their job is to regulate and fine-tune the expression of genes, and in this way they are involved in regulating almost all aspects of human biology, including cancer. a single microrna can regulate hundreds of genes. when this microrna becomes dysregulated, various members of a multifactorial pathway lose their controlling element, and cancer-promoting pathways are activated. at speratum, our mission is to synthetically replace lost micrornas through our patented therapies and restore their original contr
