The company is based in San Diego, CA. The company is developing therapeutic peptides to treat complications of decompensated cirrhosis, a condition in which the liver is scarred and permanently damaged, leading to liver failure.

The company was founded by Geoffrey Harris, and Katherine Vega Stultz has been the CEO of the company since 2022.
