Biotech+ Hub at Pegasus Park

Congratulations to Vinny Jindal and the Secretome Therapeutics team! 👏👏👏 #LifeScienceDFW #innovation

A view of Dallas’ rapidly growing Biotech hub Pegasus Park & BioLabs with UT Southwestern Medical Center in the back! Looking forward to being part of this ecosystem even after my PhD!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has agreed to invest up to $15 million in additional funding to accelerate our gene correction research program, developed in collaboration with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. This support advances our work, combining our innovative SORT LNP delivery platform with Intellia’s cutting-edge CRISPR DNA-writing technology. This funding will help develop up to three unique gene correction programs, bringing hope for transformative new therapies. Together, we’re tackling the root genetic cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), initially focusing on mutations current treatments cannot adequately address. We’re proud to continue our partnership with the CF Foundation, building on their support of our inhaled mRNA therapy, RCT2100, which is now in a Phase 1b trial. Together, we are working to create new therapeutic solutions for everyone affected by this genetic disease and ensure no one is left behind.

“Tens of billions of [life science] dollars” have left DFW due to a lack of lab space, said Gabby Everett, director of business operations and strategy and site head for BioLabs Pegasus Park - North Texas. Numerous investors, including DCC member organizations Lyda Hill Philanthropies and Dallas Regional Chamber, are reversing this trend by transforming Pegasus Park’s 26-acre campus into a #biotech, life sciences and #nonprofit epicenter. The life science estate recently attracted the $2.5B federal agency ARPA-H to build its third hub on its campus. https://lnkd.in/g8JiPrhq
