Pioneering a new generation of RNA therapeutics to change the lives of patients with severe inherited diseases
About us
PYC Therapeutics (ASX: PYC) is a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering a new generation of RNA therapeutics for genetic diseases. It works by combining two complementary platforms: RNA-based drug design and PYC’s proprietary drug delivery technology.
PYC's library of naturally derived cell penetrating peptides provide its delivery platform to overcome the major challenges of RNA therapeutics - getting into the target cell.
PYC believes its PPMO (Peptide conjugated Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomer) technology enables a safer and more effective RNA therapeutic to address the underlying drivers of a range of genetic diseases for which no treatment solutions exist today.
The Company is leveraging its leading-edge science to develop a pipeline of novel therapies including two programs focused on inherited eye diseases and preclinical discovery efforts focused on neurodegenerative diseases.
PYC’s discovery and laboratory operations are located in Australia, and the Company’s preclinical and clinical operations are based in San Fransisco California.
