Sanofi partners with SIRION to improve AAV capsids for gene therapy treatments
24th February 2021
SIRION Biotech has signed a license and collaboration with Sanofi to develop improved adeno-associated virus capsids for gene therapy treatments for disorders affecting major human organs.
Sanofi, working with SIRION Biotech and professor Dirk Grimm, a scientist in the field of AAV biology and application working at Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany, will combine their technology platforms to create next-generation AAV vectors.
As part of the collaboration, the partners will aim to develop new and modified AAV capsids with a safe product profile and improved specificity, with higher gene delivery efficiency.
