Evelo Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company. The Company is focused on discovering and developing a class of oral medicines that act on immune cells in the small intestine with systemic effects. Its small intestinal axis (SINTAX) is the network of connections that links the small intestine and the rest of the body. Immune cells and other cells in the small intestine act as sentinels and are constantly sensing the contents of the gut. Depending on what is sensed, these cells relay messages from the gut to the rest of the body that modulate systemic immunity. Its orally delivered product candidates are pharmaceutical compositions of specific single strains of commensal microbes or the extracellular vesicles (EVs) they shed.
