Our mission
Gene Therapy based on Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) vectors has proven effective for several forms of genetic blindness, however the small vector payload may limit their further application. The company develops two AAV-based platforms with expanded transfer capability that enable the delivery of large genes.
