Strategic Alliances
We believe that our antisense technology is broadly applicable for the potential development of pharmaceutical products in many therapeutic areas. To exploit our core technology as fully as possible, our strategy is to enter into collaborative development agreements with strategic partners or major pharmaceutical companies for specific molecular targets or selected disease indications.
We currently have strategic alliances with the following companies and institutions:
- U.S. Department of Defense
- for Ebola, Marburg and Dengue viruses; Ricin and Anthrax toxins
- USAMRIID
- for BSL–4 threats, including avian influenza, H5N1
- Eleos, Inc.
- to treat cancer with p53-related drugs
- UCL Institute of Child Health
- for clinical trials in muscular dystrophy
