Aramis Biosciences was founded in 2018 following more than a decade of research at The Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass Eye and Ear and Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, where the role of a certain subset of pro-inflammatory T helper cells were found to be central to the immunopathogenesis of dry eye disease.
Since then, Aramis Biosciences has assembled a team of accomplished pharmaceutical executives and world-renowned experts in the fields of ophthalmology and immunology, all committed to Aramis Biosciences’ mission to revolutionize the standard of care in ocular surface disease.
