Akribion

Akribion Therapeutics is developing a unique, RNA-guided, nuclease-based technology for programmable cell depletion. Its G-dase® E payload has the ability to kill cells by shredding DNA and RNA, but only if there is a highly specific match between the guide RNA and an intracellular RNA sequence, ensuring that only the targeted cells are affected, leaving healthy cells unharmed. Initially targeting HPV-induced Oropharyngeal Head & Neck Cancer (OPSCC), Akribion is exploring applications in oncology, autoimmune diseases, fibrosis, and infectious diseases.
