Exonics Therapeutics was launched in February 2017 to advance the research of our scientific founder, Dr. Eric Olson and his laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) to develop treatments for patients with neuromuscular diseases. Dr. Olson is one of the world’s leading experts in the study of muscle cells and the application of gene editing to treat these types of diseases. In particular, Dr. Olson’s laboratory has used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a CRISPR/Cas9 technology that can identify and repair exon mutations to restore the production of dystrophin, a protein that helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. Dystrophin is the protein missing in boys with Duchenne. The loss of dystrophin causes Duchenne.
NextCure is a fully integrated biotechnology company discovering and developing first-in-class immunotherapy-based biologics for cancer and other diseases. The company is focused on understanding biological pathways and leveraging our FIND-IOTM technology to discover, validate and build a proprietary pipeline. We believe identifying and targeting immune pathways will promote identification of effective targets for mediating sustained immunity leading to improved outcomes for cancer patients.
