Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Inducing double strand breaks at unintended locations in the genome can lead to off-target genetic modifications that are difficult to predict and potentially deleterious. Complicating matters even more, researchers currently lack effective and reliable methods for detecting and measuring off-target genomic events.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

In AAV therapeutics, empty capsids are those that are not packaged with the therapeutic DNA. Partially-filled capsids may also be present, and contain packaged process-related impurities or truncated genetic material. Second, empty capsids are thought to impair therapeutic potency due to receptor competition.
