HIV treatment and prevention using broadly neutralizing antibodies

HIV treatment and prevention using broadly neutralizing antibodies

Unmet Need For over 40 years, the HIV pandemic has affected millions, reducing life expectancy and quality of life. As of 2021, 38.4 million people globally are living with HIV, with about 1.5 million new…

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Novel epigenome editors for multiplexed gene regulation

Unmet Need Epigenome editors activate or inhibit gene expression without modifying the underlying DNA sequence. Consequently, these editors can reversibly fine-tune gene expression without the risk of permanently altering the genome or off-target editing. Epigenome…

Splice switching oligonucleotides to restore PHKG2 expression in glycogen storage disease IX

Splice switching oligonucleotides to restore PHKG2 expression in glycogen storage disease IX

Unmet Need Glycogen Storage Disease IX (GSD IX) is a rare inherited disorder primarily caused by mutations in the PHKG2 gene, leading to significant deficiencies in glycogen metabolism. Patients typically present with a variety of…

Methods of treatment in diseases treated with therapeutic proteins

Methods of treatment in diseases treated with therapeutic proteins

Unmet Need The challenge of antibody formation against protein replacement therapies (PRT) significantly impacts the efficacy of treatments as patients often develop anti-drug antibodies, particularly those who are CRIM-negative, leading to adverse outcomes and limiting…

A fluorescent probe for monitoring beta-secretase activity in cells

A fluorescent probe for monitoring beta-secretase activity in cells

Unmet Need Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, which lead to neurotoxicity, synaptic damage, and neuronal cell death. Current therapeutic approaches face significant challenges due to the complex nature…

Novel immune checkpoints for cancer immunotherapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes

Novel immune checkpoints for cancer immunotherapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes

Unmet Need Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), or cellular immunotherapy, uses immune cells to combat cancer. Since 2017, CAR-T therapies have been rapidly adopted for hematological malignancies. However, for treating solid tumors, which account for 90%…
