Healing the brain's gatekeeper

Reservoir is building a new class of therapy that targets the blood-brain barrier itself — its structure, its integrity, its function — rather than treating around it.

The problem

When the barrier fails

The blood-brain barrier is the most selective membrane in the body. It decides what enters the brain and what stays out. When its integrity breaks down, the consequences reach across a wide range of neurological disease — yet no approved therapy directly targets it.

A structural failure

Barrier dysfunction is a feature of many CNS conditions — a common thread that a healing approach could address at its source.

An unaddressed lever

Decades of drug development have focused on getting molecules across the barrier. Far less has asked a more fundamental question: how do we keep the barrier healthy in the first place?

Our approach

A therapeutic designed to heal, not just deliver

Restore integrity

Developing therapeutics aimed at repairing barrier function at the cellular level.

Broad applicability

A mechanism with the potential to extend across conditions where barrier health matters.

Built to translate

An early-stage platform with a defined path from discovery toward the clinic.

Why now

An idea whose time has come

Neuroscience is finally asking structural questions about the brain, not just chemical ones. The tools to study the blood-brain barrier in detail are better than ever — and the thesis that healing it could change the course of neurological disease is newly testable.
