And perhaps most importantly:
               You stop managing biologics like consumables.
               And start building them like infrastructure—designed to
               stay.


               This is not just a better way to build one drug.
               It’s a repeatable system. A foundation. A platform.

               And for companies willing to lead, it’s a blueprint for
               owning the next era of biologics—not with faster
               approvals, but with therapies the immune system is willing
               to live with.




               3.10 – Case Study: COUR

               Pharmaceuticals and the Rise of
               Antigen-Specific Immune Tolerance


               If the immune-compatible future is already being built,
               COUR Pharmaceuticals is one of the clearest signs.


               COUR isn’t a large-cap pharma giant or a legacy biologics
               manufacturer. It’s a clinical-stage biotech quietly leading a
               revolution: not in suppression, but in selective immune
               education.

               Their platform doesn't aim to block immune pathways. It
               doesn’t use systemic immunosuppressants or checkpoint
               inhibitors. Instead, it introduces antigens to the immune
               system in a way that mimics how the body naturally
               learns what to tolerate—using a biodegradable
               nanoparticle platform designed to deliver disease-specific
