Applications of RNA Switches

Through the cell-specific expression control by RNA switch, we aim to achieve the following;
Reduction of a number of required doses, diversification of routes of administration
Reduction of side-effects → Maximization of drug effectiveness
Development of novel therapeutic avenues
We are actively looking for partnerships in the following areas;
mRNA-based gene therapy
 Design and development of mRNA-based drugs using RNA Switch technology
Cell therapy
 Development of Switches that regulate the expression of transcription factors required for cell differentiation
Virus-based Gene Therapy
 Design DNA sequences coding RNA Switches for improvement of specificity of partner’s virus modality
miRNA-based drug development
 Identify miRNAs that could be viable therapeutic targets
