Make hope abound.

We started Zitra to make medicines that truly matter.


We don't follow crowds, chase fads, or pursue me-too drugs.

We leverage non-invasive “Trojan horse” brain delivery technology and mRNA engineering to develop life-changing medicines for patients suffering from terrible brain diseases.
