Products
MNM intracellular delivery platform
A molecular nano-motor delivery modality designed to transport large molecules across cell membranes and release cargo in the cytoplasm via a cleavable linkage.
Intranasal MNM-siRNA program (SARS-CoV-2)
Intranasal siRNA conjugate program targeting a conserved SARS-CoV-2 gene intended for pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, and therapeutic use; advanced through a Phase I randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Preclinical MNM-siRNA programs for respiratory viruses (influenza, RSV)
Preclinical development of intranasal/inhaled siRNA-MNM conjugates targeting conserved viral sites for influenza and RSV.
Preclinical IPF MNM-siRNA program
Anti-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis program using MNM-siRNA conjugates with proof-of-concept activity observed in a bleomycin-induced mouse model.
Preclinical neurodegenerative siRNA program (intrathecal)
Preclinical work on intrathecal administration of conjugated siRNA for heritable neurological diseases.
Peptide delivery proof-of-concept
Preclinical demonstration that conjugation of the delivery moiety to peptides improves intracellular activity relative to a comparator cell-penetrating peptide, with observed synergistic enhancement when combined.
