Gene Therapy Solutions

 

Our Mission

To dramatically improve the world through cutting-edge gene editing technology 

 

Cystic Fibrosis

An autosomal recessive disorder, most CF cases are caused by a 3 nucleotide deletion (CFTRΔF508).

Sickle Cell Disease

An autosomal recessive disorder, most Sickle Cell cases are caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism (HBB-HbS).


Alzheimer's Disease

Caucasians with two copies of the ε4 variant of the APOE gene have a 14.9x higher chance of developing Alzheimer's vs. those with two copies of the (default) ε3 variant (Farrer et al., 1997). 

APOE-ε4 is a single nucleotide polymorphism.


Personalised Gene Therapy

Eventually, our aim is to offer personalised gene therapy options to individuals based on genomic sequencing and subsequent risk scores.


 Longer term, we hope to expand into therapies for HIV/AIDS, cancer and ageing, and gene drives focused on carriers of tropical diseases.
