ReWind Therapeutics NV is a biotech company based in Leuven, Belgium that develops first-in-class remyelinating therapies for myelin-related diseases. The Belgian company's aim is to bring these therapies into fast-track clinical development. Myelin-related diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, are those where the myelin sheath surrounding nerves is damaged, leading to deficient nerve transmission that may affect multiple functions, including sensation, cognition, and movement, among others. ReWind Therapeutics develops first-in-class therapeutics designed to re-initiate the process of remyelination in patients suffering from major debilitating diseases such as multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, or nerve injuries. The company's team has extensive R&D expertise and has built a strong patent estate for developing novel remyelination therapeutics. The company was founded in 2017 by Ku Leuven's Centre for Drug Design and Discovery (CD3) and Axxam S.p.A. The CEO of the company since 2021 is Anja Harmeier.
