Delivering on the RNA Revolution

Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOC) therapeutics are designed to combine the proven technology of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with the precision and potency of oligonucleotide therapies to access previously untreatable tissue and cell types, opening new potential treatments for patients. We have done the experiments and have followed the data to build our AOC platform. We are revolutionizing the RNA therapeutics field by delivering oligonucleotides where they are needed – including beyond the liver.
