RAGE Biotech

🌍 Today is World COPD Day 2024 – an important opportunity to shine a light on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and the millions affected worldwide. This year’s theme, “Know Your Lung Function,” emphasizes the critical role of early detection and proactive management in improving outcomes for those living with COPD. At RAGE Biotech, we are driven by our mission to address the unmet needs in COPD by tackling the root causes of chronic inflammation through precision RNA therapeutics. Our pioneering splice-switching oligonucleotide technology targets disease-modifying proteins, offering hope for a new class of treatments that go beyond symptom management to address underlying disease pathways that affect lung function. COPD doesn’t just take a toll on health – it impacts families, caregivers, and healthcare systems worldwide. We’re committed to working alongside researchers, clinicians, and the broader healthcare community to rewrite the story for patients living with this disease. 🫁 Let’s keep striving for healthier lungs and a brighter future. #WorldCOPDDay #COPD #PrecisionMedicine #RNATherapeutics #ChronicInflammation #RAGEBiotech

We are excited to be sharing our latest data on the therapeutic potential of RB042 at the European Respiratory Society #ERSCongress 7-11 September in Vienna. Our late-breaking presentation ‘A splice-switching oligonucleotide (SSO) targeting the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) attenuates lung injury in smoke and AATD associated lung disease’ is on this Sunday morning 8 September. RAGE Advisor Gary Anderson is the presenter, and our CSO Christopher Wraight will also be there from Sunday onwards networking and meeting with investors and pharma. Get in touch with Christopher to find out more about our game-changing medicine for patients in need of better therapies for chronic lung inflammation.

Read more on our updated website, and join us in welcoming Aili and Nic!

Our CEO recently presented an overview of approved oligonucleotide medicines and discussed how splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) fit into the mRNA medicine platform. He also gave a guided tour through RAGE Biotech’s genesis, our own innovative SSO technology, and how we are applying it to improve the lives of patients with difficult-to-treat chronic inflammatory disease. Chris was one of three invited speakers in mRNA Victoria and BioMelbourne Network’s outstanding mRNA Lecture Series. Series 2, Lecture One, ‘The RNA Platform: The Breadth of Possibility Beyond mRNA’, was held on Friday 10 November 2023, and mRNA Vic have just released a recording of the session at https://lnkd.in/gbHZ-K7F
