Company Overview
iECURE (pronounced EE-ah-cure) is a preclinical stage gene editing company focused on developing therapies that utilize mutation-agnostic in vivo gene insertion, or knock-in, therapy for the treatment of monogenic liver disorders with significant unmet need. iECURE’s approach has the potential to replace and restore the function of a dysfunctional gene by knocking-in a healthy copy, regardless of mutation, to offer durable gene expression and long-term, potentially curative, therapeutic benefit.
The company is collaborating with the University of Pennsylvania’s (Penn) Gene Therapy Program (GTP), led by Dr. James Wilson, to utilize the GTP’s world-class translational expertise and infrastructure, which has helped generate our initial pipeline of product candidates. The Penn collaboration provides iECURE with the exclusive right to develop up to 15 product candidates each focused on a liver indication; we have nominated three product candidates to date, which comprise our initial pipeline.
