The company’s Research and Development focuses on Lysosomal Storage Diseases, which is a common name for human diseases, where the ability of the human body to break down specific molecules in the lysosomes in the cells is reduced or impaired. The diseases most often affect children, they are lethal and there is no therapy available today.
