About Us
The life-limiting symptoms patients with these disorders experience are caused by the lack of a crucial functional protein. Our personalized approach to gene therapy starts with inserting a therapeutic gene in the patient’s own stem cells to enable production of the protein they lack. Over time, these cells are expected to multiply and produce daughter cells. Each new generation of daughter cells is expected to contain the therapeutic gene.
This approach holds the potential for the all-important protein to be durably expressed throughout the patient’s body, including the brain, delivering freedom for life.
Our initial focus is on lysosomal disorders, where the standard of care does not halt disease progression or adequately address many symptoms, particularly in the brain and nervous system. Our investigational therapies are currently being studied in clinical trials in Fabry disease, Gaucher disease and cystinosis. We are also advancing a program in Pompe disease.
