ViaNautis Bio receives investment from SCI Ventures
The undisclosed investment will expand ViaNautis’ central-nervous-system pipeline into chronic spinal cord injury.
Targeting genetic medicines to selected cells
ViaNautis is developing polyNaut, a polymer-nanovesicle system designed to deliver DNA and mRNA to selected cells and tissues without viral vectors. Nanobody guidance is intended to direct the payload, and the platform is designed to be redosable for genetic-medicine programs across disease areas.
The SCI Ventures investment will support expansion of the company’s central-nervous-system portfolio into chronic spinal cord injury. ViaNautis describes its platform as being developed for programs in CNS disease, immunology, oncology and respiratory medicine.
