Amets Biotechnology

Developing curative gene therapies for rare pediatric diseases.

Our mission: To cure children with PFIC2.

Our Science
The Science

A Disease Without Answers — Until Now

The Problem

PFIC2 is a rare, degenerative pediatric liver disease — and 90% of rare diseases have no cure. Current standards of care fail 66% of patients, often leading to liver failure or cancer before age 5. Available therapy involves daily medications that address symptoms, not the cause.

The Solution: AMB-01

AMB-01 is a safe, single-dose gene therapy designed to be curative. It targets the genetic root cause by delivering a corrected version of the defective gene directly into affected liver cells — eliminating the need for lifelong symptomatic treatment.

Daily Symptomatic Treatment

Ongoing medications, repeated interventions, disease progression — and no path to cure.

AMB-01: One-Time Curative Dose

A single administration targeting the genetic cause — designed for lifelong benefit.

Validation & Roadmap

Built on Rigorous Science and Strategic Milestones

Proof-of-Concept

Successfully cured PFIC2 in juvenile mice during preclinical testing — a critical scientific milestone demonstrating AMB-01's therapeutic potential.

Secured IP

Patent granted covering the core therapeutic DNA sequence, establishing a strong and defensible intellectual property position.

Strategic Partners

Backed by specialized expertise from Vivet Therapeutics, Amplo Biotechnology and Cima Universidad de Navarra.
