BT Catalyst, Dec, 1999
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant of $235,153 to Intronn LLC to research the use of its proprietary spliceosome mediated RNA trans-splicing technology to repair the gene defect underlying cystic fibrosis.
In the first phase of the project, the company intends to produce a series of pre-therapeutic RNA molecules that are capable of initiating spliceosome mediated RNA trans-splicing reactions with the mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator and repairing this mRNA in cultured cells from CF patients.
