Partnering

We are evaluating opportunities for collaboration where we can utilize our research platform, which focuses on increased selectivity and potency through improved expression profiles. We believe this approach can be enabling for best- and/or first-in-class gene therapies across a broad range of indications in the CNS and other organ systems. To date, we have completed proof-of-concept work in CNS, liver, heart and metabolic areas. Currently, we are not actively seeking to license any of our CNS pipeline assets.
