About:
Regel Therapeutics is targeting gene regulation to fix various disease-affected cells. Within each cell gene expression is tightly regulated through epigenetics - alteration can lead to severe genetic diseases. Regel’s strategy is to target and restore the epigenome, without editing or damaging the DNA sequence. To achieve this, Regel is using a deactivated Cas system (dCas9) which harnesses the natural mechanisms of gene regulation allowing for efficient and permanent restoration of normal gene expression, in a safe manner. Clinical application will use AAV delivery and with the modular nature of dCas9 targeting, Regel can use their precision medicine approach across various genetic diseases.
