Vesigen Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company developing a novel non-viral delivery platform for gene editors, RNA, and protein-based therapeutics, today announced eight data presentations at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 26th Annual Meeting being held May 16-20, 2023 in Los Angeles. New preclinical data demonstrate efficient delivery of large genome editor and guide RNA complexes, providing further support of the Company’s novel delivery platform.

Vesigen’s technology comprises engineered forms of a class of naturally existing vesicles to enable efficient functional delivery of complex intracellular payloads, while overcoming challenges observed with other modalities such as tissue specificity and re-dosability. Accepted abstracts are available on the ASGCT website.
“Vesigen’s non-viral vehicles, called ARMMs, enable single particle packaging and in vivo delivery of a variety of complex therapeutic payloads,” said Joseph Nabhan, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Vesigen Therapeutics. “We are excited to share eight poster presentations, at the upcoming ASGCT conference. Our data demonstrate robust functional delivery of large genome editor and guide RNA complexes, including Cas9 and base editors, both in vivo and in vitro. Vesigen is leveraging the differentiated biodistribution of ARMMs, which we think have tremendous potential to lead to meaningful progress in the development of disease-modifying strategies for intractable genetic diseases of the nervous system, and for complex immune disorders through the targeting of well validated nodes in immune cells. We continue to make excellent progress advancing our programs toward the clinic.”
The Company will also provide updates on Vesigen’s scalable ARMMs production platform, a novel approach for single particle characterization, as well as RNA packaging and delivery.
Details of the poster presentations are listed below. All posters will be presented in the poster hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center at 12 PM PDT.
