SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SonoThera™, a biotechnology company dedicated to treating the root cause of human diseases through genetic therapy, today announced it will deliver late-breaking data at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions being held November 15 –18, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.
The presentation features SonoThera’s novel, ultrasound-mediated 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 AHA Scientific Sessions focuses on transcutaneous ultrasound mediated gene delivery (UMGD) to the heart of murine and non-human primates (NHPs), in a safe, redosable, durable, and titratable manner.
“Gene therapy holds promise as a revolutionary approach to treating cardiovascular disease, however, there are still several delivery challenges to solve,” said Kenneth Greenberg, PhD, CEO of SonoThera. “Ultrasound-mediated delivery has emerged as a transformative way to non-invasively deliver gene therapy to the heart with precise targeting and excellent safety, and we look forward to presenting the new data on our platform at the AHA Scientific Sessions.”
