Idea or High Level Concept
We develop linear DNA based precision therapeutics as Vaccines for Infectious Diseases and Cancer and Gene Therapies for genetic disorders
Territory of the product or service implementation
Global (world)
Traction and Current Status
We are a pre-clinical stage company that develops DNA based therapeutics for several diseases. We have develped SARS-CoV-2 and Dengue DNA based vaccine candidates with promising in-vitro and in-vivo proof of concept results. As well we have also developed a novel approach to Melanoma Treatment with great in-vivo canine and feline case reports.
Problem or Opportunity
We do not use viral systems for gene delivery. We only use DNA + Liposomes for gene delivery and therapeutic effects for Infectious Diseases such as Dengue Virus and Cancer such as melanoma that are neglected diseases with no preventive or treatment therapeutics
Solution
We develop linear DNA based therapeutics for Infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and Dengue and for Oncology, specifically for Melanoma and Squamous Cell Carinoma. We have performed several proof of concept assays for our candidates with very promising results.
Competitors and Existing Alternatives
There are competitors that produce DNA based therapeutics as INOVIO but the main difference is that they use plasmidic circular DNA and we use linear DNA devoided of bacterial genetic elements
Advantages or differentiators
We differenciate from our competitors because we use non viral genetic sequences for vaccine and gene therapy development. As well these types of molecules are produced in bacteria at lower prices than viral systems and are more efficient as well
Won the competition and other awards
We have won several competitions and prices:
2018 - ALL-TEC Competition - Argentina Biotechnology Innovation Award US$ 13.000 Funded
2019 - YPFtec - Argentina Science Ministry Biotechnology Innovation Award
2020 - Argenitna Science Ministry and Spain Fomento San Sebastian Biotechnology Innovation Award US$ 3.000 Funded
