Axcella to Present New Data at the Annual 2018 AASLD Liver Meeting

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--()--Axcella Health, a biotechnology company pioneering a new approach to address metabolic dysregulation and health, today announced that Manu Chakravarthy, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Clinical Development and Chief Medical Officer, will be presenting new data on the company’s novel candidate AXA1125 at the 2018 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Meeting, occurring November 9-13, 2018 in San Francisco, CA.

Effective therapies for NAFLD require coordinated reprogramming of cellular physiology as multiple pathways drive liver injury and disease progression. The presentation and poster will show AXA1125, the company’s unique metabolic modulator composition, as a potential candidate to address the multifactorial dysregulation in NAFLD with the goal of safely reprogramming cellular metabolism to simultaneously target insulin resistance, inflammation, and fibrogenesis.

Additional details of the presentation are as follows:
