Parents

*Developing a gene editor that can be delivered using nanoparticles to eliminate the genome of the virus.
*Developing a new gene editing technology that results in more efficient deletion of target DNA sequences or near complete DNA repair.
*The company has also developed proprietary lipid nanoparticles as a delivery system to deliver the gene editor to cells.
Many leading gene editing technologies (such as CRISPR-Cas9) cut DNA at one site leaving compatible DNA ends which results in random length insertions / deletions, or low frequency gene repair.
These tools are not sufficient to treat many genetic diseases in cells inside the body and a new tool is needed to accurately correct genetic errors in a high percentage of cells.
