About us

Our journey

Breakthrough discovery

Years of dedicated research at Universitat Pompeu Fabra laboratories of Proteomics/Protein Chemistry and Neurophar, in collaboration with other institutions, led to the breakthrough discovery of the CB1R-5HT2AR complex (Viñals et al., 2015).

Development of DRT-101

Building on this finding, the scientific team developed and validated DRT-101 as a fully druggable peptide disruptor of CB1R-5HT2AR (Gallo et al., 2021).

Entrepreneurial vision

This phase is led by an expert entrepreneur in start-up initiatives to address unmet medical needs.

Launch of Disrupt Therapeutics

In January 2023, Disrupt Therapeutics officially launched, aiming to provide with advanced solutions for CUD and cognitive protection.

Our main objective

Our primary goal is to advance the preclinical and clinical development of DRT-101, as an innovative therapeutic solution for CUD, a condition for which no pharmacotherapies are currently available.
Our ultimate mission is to offer individuals affected by CUD a route to a brighter, healthier future, helping them regain control and improve their well-being.
