Biology is opening up new frontiers in medicine. We are witnessing a revolution in healthcare, driven by advances in genetics, Omics, RNA and CRISPR gene-editing technology, to deliver precision and personalised medicine, said Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, executive chairperson, Biocon and Biocon Biologics.
Asklepios BioPharmaceutical has entered a research partnership and option agreement with ReCode Therapeutics for exploring its single-vector gene-editing platform. The new solution will enable complete gene insertion by delivering the gene-editing tool and DNA as mixed cargo to desired targets in one LNP.
Moderna has entered a strategic research and development partnership with ElevateBio’s Life Edit Therapeutics to discover and develop new in-vivo mRNA geneediting therapies. Our novel editing systems have the potential to precisely modify gene targets for both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic development.”
Biotechnology company Hopewell Therapeutics has raised $25m in seed financing to accelerate the development of next-generation lipid nanoparticles for targeted delivery of genomic medicines. Hopewell Therapeutics is engaged in discovering, synthesising and developing advanced ttLNPs to provide next-generation genomic medicines.
Tessera Therapeutics chief scientist Michael Holmes had just finished presenting a much-anticipated peek at a technology the company had previously said could “ revolutionize geneticmedicine ” and “cure nearly any geneticdisease.”
WINSTON-SALEM, NC – May 2, 2022 — Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) scientists working on CRISPR/Cas9-mediated geneediting technology have developed a method to increase efficiency of editing while minimizing DNA deletion sizes, a key step toward developing geneediting therapies to treat geneticdiseases.
AstraZeneca’s rare disease firm Alexion is set to expand its genomic medicine portfolio with the acquisition of geneediting specialist LogicBio Therapeutics, in a deal worth approximately $68 million. The post AstraZeneca pays record 660% premium for geneediting company LogicBio appeared first on.
— CRISPR has ushered in the era of genomic medicine. A line of powerful tools has been developed from the popular CRISPR-Cas9 to cure geneticdiseases. ITHACA, N.Y.
Vertex Pharma has ramped up its involvement in gene-editingmedicines for the third time in a matter of months, agreeing a partnership with CRISPR specialist Arbor Biotechnologies that could be worth up to $1.2 The post Vertex builds in geneediting yet again, with $1.2bn Arbor deal appeared first on.
The company has also stated, at the same time as the study was announced, that it will look at developing mRNA technology in oncology and geneticdiseases. Similar to Pfizer, Sanofi noted that bringing the companies into its portfolio would allow it to leverage research capabilities in oncology and inflammatory disease.
Oxbryta is the first medicine approved in Europe that directly prevents sickle haemoglobin (HbS) polymerisation, the molecular basis of sickling and destruction of red blood cells in SCD, and has been tipped to become a $1 billion-plus blockbuster at peak.
“Our company and R&D portfolio are entering into an exciting phase, as evidenced by the recent close of Series B financing and submission of the first geneediting product IND in China,” said Dong Wei, Ph.D.?CEO
The gene-editing tool CRISPR edits DNA using specialized strands of guide RNA and endogenous cellular mechanisms of RNA interference. RNA-based treatments include RNA interference (RNAi) with double-stranded RNA molecules, or small interfering RNA (siRNA) involving single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs).
In 2023, a number of gene therapies are expected to get the FDA green light. This includes the first ever CRISPR geneediting therapy from Vertex and CRISPR therapeutics for sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT).
Whether its the integration of nanotechnology in medicine, the evolution of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics or the transformative impact of CRISPR and regenerative medicine, these biotech trends are pushing scientific boundaries and creating new opportunities for businesses and researchers alike. billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 10.1
