CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vesigen Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company developing a novel non-viral delivery platform for gene editors, RNA, and protein-based therapeutics, today announced that the Company will be presenting 10 posters sharing new preclinical data from its engineered ARMMs platform at the upcoming American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Annual Meeting. The conference will be held from May 7-11 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Vesigen’s delivery technology has been shown to be non-immunogenic and is re-dosable. ARMMs can be targeted to cell types of interest. Vesigen will be presenting new preclinical data demonstrating successful biodistribution of its ARMMs in non-human primates (NHPs). The team will also be sharing data on its new targeted ARMMs technology, demonstrating the ability to deliver to otherwise hard-to-reach cell types.
Details of the poster presentations are listed below. All posters will be presented in the poster hall of the Baltimore Convention Center at 12 PM EST.

About Vesigen Therapeutics
Vesigen Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing a novel, non-viral delivery technology for gene editing, RNA, and protein-based therapeutics. Vesigen’s patented technology, called ARMMs (ARRDC1 Mediated Microvesicles), can be used to precisely deliver a wide range of payloads to a unique set of tissue and cell types. Vesigen has demonstrated highly efficient in vitro and in vivo functional delivery of a range of payloads across multiple cell types and is committed to developing transformative medicines that address current unmet medical needs. ARMMs were discovered and engineered into a drug delivery system at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
