Fast Forward Therapeutic Innovation

Avanti Biosciences is a dynamic biotechnology company based at Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS in San Diego, dedicated to transforming treatment landscapes for debilitating diseases.
Our primary focus is fibrotic disorders, including NASH-associated liver fibrosis—affecting ~9–15 million US adults with a market projected to grow from USD 2.32B (2023) to USD 4.51B by 2032—and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a USD 3B+ market. We also target neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s), inflammatory diseases, and rare metabolic disorders.
By optimizing natural product-derived new chemical entities (NCEs) for enhanced bioavailability and selectivity, we develop innovative therapies for complex diseases.
Our globally recognized scientific founders, backed by >USD 6M in NIH funding, including a recent NIDDK SBIR grant with Ohio State University, drive our mission to address unmet medical needs with cutting-edge solutions.
