ABOUT RNAi

SILENCING GENES TO TREAT DISEASE

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring process already at work inside your body which regulates how genes make new proteins. Proteins play a critical role in almost everything your body does but, sometimes, they can cause or contribute to disease.

Leveraging the RNAi process to treat disease involves selectively targeting and preventing specific proteins from being made, “silencing” gene expression to treat disease at its source.

We believe our technology could ultimately be used to silence virtually any gene in the genome… meaning the diseases we are treating today are just the beginning of what is possible.
