Targeting Tissues Throughout the Body with RNA Therapies

RNA therapies offer great promise for addressing rare genetic diseases by disrupting the translation of pathogenic genes into disease-causing proteins or getting the body to produce a needed protein it lacks. But the challenge of delivering these therapies to tissue where they need to go to be effective has limited the diseases that have been treated with these therapies to date. DTx Pharma has developed platform technology to address the challenges of delivering RNA therapeutics and is building a pipeline of RNA therapies. We spoke Arthur Suckow, co-founder and CEO of DTx, about the delivery challenge of RNA therapies, how DTx’s platform technology addresses these, and how a $100 million financing from earlier this year will be used to fuel its growth.
