Physiogenex has a >15-year experience in developing GLP-1/incretins therapies: let’s drive you to success

Expertise in GLP-1

Benefits from our consulting services – includes Pr. Rémy Burcelin’s expertise , Physiogenex chairman of the scientific advisory board (50 publications on GLP-1)

Discriminate the mechanism of actions
Benefits from our consulting services:

Pancreatic insulin secretion
Gut-brain axis
Gastric emptying immunomodulation

Our validated tools:

Acute effects: gastric emptying in mice & glucose tolerance tests

Chronic effects: Weight loss in DIO rats

Beta-cells preservation in ZDF rats

NASH/MASH & liver immune cells modulation in 3-week NASH/MASH mouse

Diabetic nephropathy & cardiovascular in the SDT fatty rat

Preclinical CRO Services for obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes

Ex vivo screening
