About Us

PaxMedica is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative treatments for unmet needs in neurodevelopmental disorders. Our lead programs are focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There are no FDA-approved treatments for the core symptoms of ASD. As the only publicly traded US company focused exclusively on Autism, we are on a promising path to change that.
