Analyst proposes building new biotech firm

Gupta walked into Schneeberger's office to suggest developing a company from the ground up. The proposed business would focus on creating long-acting antibody treatments for atopic dermatitis. Schneeberger usually invests in existing biotech companies rather than starting his own ventures.

Company aims to improve antibody therapy

The new entity intends to build a better treatment option specifically for patients with atopic dermatitis. This project represents a shift from Schneeberger's standard day job of investing in established drug developers. The idea was pitched within the context of Adar1 Capital's investment strategy.
