Antisense oligonucleotides
Manage episode 418688752 series 3361449
German-headquartered Isarna Therapeutics is developing a portfolio of antisense therapies targeting an emerging therapeutic field in human biology – transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B) signaling.
Precise modulation of TGF-B pathways using antisense therapy may result in safer and more effective treatment options for a broad range of indications.
The company’s lead compound, ISTH0036, is in clinical development in ophthalmology.
On the podcast this week we chat with René Rückert, chief operating officer at Isarna Therapeutics, who explains TGF-B and antisense oligonucleotides’ role in tackling disease.
