WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dyno Therapeutics, Inc., a techbio company pioneering applications of artificial intelligence to engineering AAV capsids that can expand the potential of genetic medicine, today announced a Dyno Scientific Symposium and the presentation of four research abstracts at the upcoming 26th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) being held May 16-20, 2023 in Los Angeles, Calif.
Among the results to be presented is a breakthrough in CNS delivery: Dyno’s AI-guided design and subsequent in vivo characterization of a novel AAV capsid that delivers genetic payloads to a significant and potentially therapeutically relevant fraction of neurons across the central nervous system (CNS), including deep brain structures, via IV administration in non-human primates.
Dyno Scientific Symposium
Title: “The Capsids You Need: AI-Guided Design and In Vivo Validation of AAV Capsids for Better Delivery to Muscle, Eye and CNS”
Date and Time: Friday, May 19 from 12:00-1:30 p.m. PT
Location: Petree Hall C
Dyno’s scientific symposium will describe the transformative properties of Dyno’s license-ready capsids across therapeutic areas, including a breakthrough in CNS delivery aided by generative AI. Dyno is leveraging its platform to additionally design optimized capsids for muscle and eye delivery, towards significantly expanding the potential of genetic medicine.
