Dyno Therapeutics Announces Publication in Nature Biotechnology Demonstrating Use of Artificial Intelligence to Generate Unprecedented Diversity of AAV Capsids and Broaden Reach of Gene Therapies

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, February 11, 2021

It is estimated that up to 50-70% of the human population have pre-existing immunity to natural forms of the AAV vectors currently being using to deliver gene therapies.

Key Points: 
  • It is estimated that up to 50-70% of the human population have pre-existing immunity to natural forms of the AAV vectors currently being using to deliver gene therapies.
  • This immunity renders a large portion of patients ineligible to receive gene therapies which rely upon these capsids as the vector for delivery.
  • Overcoming the challenge of pre-existing immunity to AAV vectors is therefore a major goal for the gene therapy field.
  • Dyno Therapeutics is a pioneer in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and quantitative high-throughput in vivo experiments to gene therapy.
