aceRNA Technology and Pfizer entered into an agreement to collaborate on RNA switch technology. In the collaboration, we aim to engineer RNA switch for potential targeted mRNA medicines.
As of May 26th, Teruo Susumu has resigned from his position as President and CEO at aceRNA Technologies. Fumihiro Sugawa will serve as the new President and CEO. We will continue to develop “smart gene therapy” (mRNA-based and virus-base) that enables control of therapeutic transgene expression in cell-type and -state specific manner.

In addition to the puromycin resistance gene mRNA already on the market, we have added blastcidin and hygromycin resistance gene mRNA to our product lineup. In addition to our RNA switch, by co-transferring with Cas9 mRNA or siRNA of other companies, cells with untransfected nucleic acid can be removed by drug treatment.

We are pleased to announce the commercialization and launch of a cell sorting reagent that utilizes RNA Switch™ technology. This product utilizes the RNA Switch™ technology invented by Professor Hirohide Saito and his colleagues at the Kyoto University iPS Cell Research Institute, and is a reagent that can identify or sort only specific cell types. The RNA switch for sorting using suicide genes is expected to make a significant contribution to the improvement of productivity in the research field, as it allows for quick and easy research without the use of special machinery by simply introducing it into cells.
aceRNA Technologies, which is based on the RNA switch technology invented by Professor Hirohide Saitoh of the Kyoto University iPS Cell Research Institute, has raised capital from Kyoto University Innovation Capital. We are pleased to announce that we will use the funds raised to promote research and development for the sale of RNA switch research reagents, and to further grow our business.
