"With the recent termination of our collaboration agreement with Givaudan, we have made the decision to reduce our workforce from 25 to 14 employees," commented Dr. Raymond Salemme, CEO of Redpoint Bio. "We plan to leverage our investments in the biology of taste modulation to focus on promising opportunities we have identified for treatments for diabetes and obesity. We remain dedicated to prudently managing our financial resources in addition to exploring strategic options for the Company with our advisor Burrill and Company."
About Redpoint Bio Corporation
Redpoint is utilizing its knowledge of the biology of taste and its relationship to metabolic processes, satiety, and diabetes to focus its development programs on both the development of healthier foods and, potentially, new approaches to the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Redpoint's work in diabetes and obesity stems from the observation that taste signaling in the gastrointestinal tract is involved in important hormone secretion processes, thus leveraging Redpoint's work on lingual taste modulation to important therapeutic applications.
