On April 22, 2024 SalioGen Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing next-generation genetic medicines based on its novel Gene Coding technology, reported that four abstracts, including one oral presentation, will be presented at the upcoming annual meetings of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) (Press release, SalioGen Therapeutics, APR 22, 2024, View Source;cell-therapy-asgct-302123770.html [SID1234642220]).

The presented findings will highlight preclinical data supporting the tolerability and in vivo efficacy of SGT-1001, a development candidate for the one-time treatment of Stargardt disease, a genetic condition that causes progressive vision loss. A separate program under development for cystic fibrosis will show success in targeting integration of the CFTR gene into the native CFTR intron 1, a major step forward in targeted delivery of a large genetic cargo. SalioGen will also share genomic profiling data on its novel Gene Coding technology, which uses transposition to integrate large DNA constructs (up to 100kb) into the genome and promises to overcome key safety risks and limitations of other approaches to genetic medicine.
ARVO will take place in Seattle, Washington, from May 5 to 9, 2024, and ASGCT (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, from May 7 to 11, 2024.
