Discovery of Epigenetic Medicine
Biological mechanisms that switch our genes on and offDisease is managed and resolved by altering the fundamental genetic expression that puts a patient at risk

Obesity, asthma, ocular disease, cancer and many other diseases have become epidemic. These are classified as environmental risk factor diseases by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), in that although there may be an innate genetic family risk, the ultimate eventual development of these diseases is primarily the result of environment and lifestyle. The lesson to be learned is that disease is NOT the result of “bad” genes, but rather how our genes are read. We have evolved to have our genes “read” in such a way that we were able to thrive in an environment that no longer exists, namely the African Savannah, in a physically demanding nomadic lifestyle, breathing clean air, and eating a meat and fat-based diet.
“Epigenetics” is the study of the mechanisms that regulate how and when in our lives genes are expressed (read), which determines how we respond to environmental stressors and disease. Established medicine simply offers a “crutch” to patients afflicted with disease, that temporarily provides a chemical or modality advantage, but makes no attempt to assist the patient to more ably deal with the altered environmental risks that predisposed that patient to disease. Hulogix focuses on the epigenetic mechanisms of disease. Epigenetic Medicine is a new and powerful field of medicine that will have a huge impact on how we treat diseases in the future. We develop agents that correct these aberrant disease processes on a genetic cellular level. Hulogix has already patented and has ongoing clinical trials on several of these drugs.
