SonoThera™ to Present Four Abstracts at the 2024 American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Annual Meeting

• Abstracts highlight SonoThera’s novel, ultrasound-guided nonviral gene therapy platform’s ability to non-invasively deliver nucleic acid payloads of diverse formats and sizes to targeted organs and tissues.

• ASGCT presentations highlight targeted DNA delivery to the kidney and liver resulting in durable gene expression, the ability to re-dose and dose titrate with exemplary safety and efficacy.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SonoThera™, a biotechnology company dedicated to treating the root cause of human diseases through genetic therapy, today announced that it will present four abstracts at the 27^th annual meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, May 7-11, 2024.

All four presentations feature SonoThera’s ultrasound-guided nonviral gene therapy platform, which is being developed to non-invasively deliver nucleic acid payloads of diverse formats and sizes. While the platform is designed to selectively target a wide range of organs within the body, research presented at ASCGT focuses on the targeted delivery of redosable and therapeutically relevant DNA payloads that result in robust and durable gene expression in the kidney and liver in murine and NHP models.

“We are pleased to share our recent research further advancing our technology,” said Kenneth Greenberg, PhD, CEO of SonoThera. “Our scientific team’s innovation demonstrates our commitment to realizing the enormous potential of ultrasound as an effective, nonviral delivery method which may solve some of today’s biggest challenges in genetic medicine. We look forward to presenting these results at ASGCT.”
