Bozeman, Montana’s SiteOne Therapeutics working on alternative opioid treatment receives $1 million grant

A Bozeman biotech company announced Tuesday it received a $1 million federal grant to continue its work developing a pain medication alternative to opioids.

The company, SiteOne Therapeutics https://www.siteonetherapeutics.com/ , is currently developing a drug that effectively blocks pain signals to the brain. SiteOne’s founders have said the treatment would be a welcome alternative to opioid painkillers such as oxycodone and fentanyl, which have adverse side effects including dependency and addiction.

The grant money was awarded through an R&D arm of the U.S. Department of Defense.
