Merida's lead program is designed to do exactly that: selectively and directly eliminating the autoantibodies causing Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease, while preserving normal immune function, with initial Phase 1 data already pointing to the potential for improved efficacy and safety," said Francisco Ramírez-Valle, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president, Lilly immunology research and early clinical development. "We see potential to apply this precision approach across a broad range of antibody-driven diseases, and we look forward to advancing this novel technology working with the Merida team." 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱, Chief Executive Officer of Merida: "Merida was founded to fundamentally change how autoimmune and allergic diseases are treated, by targeting the antibodies driving them directly, rather than suppressing the immune system broadly. Under our CSO and founder Dario Gutierrez's scientific leadership, our team has advanced that idea from concept to clinical data, and what we've seen so far reinforces our conviction that this approach can make a meaningful difference for patients," said Adam Townsend, chief executive officer of Merida. "Today's announcement reflects the hard work of the entire Merida team, and joining Lilly gives our science the resources and commitment to realize its potential for patients with immune-mediated conditions."

🚨Update: Cartel controlled Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was humiliation by the US! The Mexican government decided to protect Cartel Governor Rocha Moya and has spent days demanding proof from the United States. The end of the story? NO! Mérida Sánchez, former security secretary, and Díaz Vega, former finance secretary of Gov. Rocha Moya, decided to turn themselves in to the US to provide all the evidence against the Narco politicians!!
