Lipideon Biotechnology AG is a Swiss company founded in 2002 that focuses on drug research and development for the treatment of arteriosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases. Their strategy is to create a new class of non-absorbable drugs that inhibit cholesterol absorption in the small intestine, which can reduce serum cholesterol levels and improve the treatment of dyslipidemia.
