Products

Circular RNA therapeutic platform with LNP delivery

An integrated platform pairing engineered circular RNA constructs with lipid nanoparticle delivery systems to enable vaccines, in vivo CAR therapies, and RNA editing approaches targeting extra-hepatic tissues.

In vivo panCAR therapeutic programs (CD19 and BCMA targets)

Program-level assets intended to induce CAR expression in vivo to deplete target B cells (CD19) for autoimmune disease and to target BCMA for multiple myeloma; programs are being advanced toward clinical studies.


Services

Strategic collaborations with pharmaceutical companies for co-development of vaccines, infectious disease therapeutics, oncology and genetic disease programs.

Design and execution of preclinical studies including biodistribution, pharmacodynamic assessments, and efficacy models in humanized mice and non-human primates to support clinical translation.
