Arbor Biotechnologies Announces Presentations at 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy
Arbor Biotechnologies®, a biotechnology company discovering and developing the next generation of genetic medicines, today announced upcoming preclinical data presentations at the 25th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) being held May 16-19, 2022, in Washington, D.C. The Company was also selected to give an invited talk during a pre-meeting workshop on the future of genetic medicines.
“Leveraging our expertise in metagenomic discovery and protein engineering, we have discovered and built a robust toolbox of novel editing enzymes and effectors that may be tailored to the underlying cause of disease for a wide range of genetic conditions,” said Devyn Smith, Ph.D., CEO, Arbor Biotechnologies. “We are highly encouraged by these early results, which in addition to supporting the versatility of our platform, demonstrate the robust activity, high specificity, and broad capabilities of our genomic tools, extending to both ex vivo and in vivo genetic medicine applications.”
