ProQR validates RNA editing platform and raises $59.2m

Why it matters: The Leiden-based biotech has spent the past few years repositioning itself around ADAR-mediated RNA editing, a technology that uses naturally occurring enzymes in the body (called ADARs) to make precise changes to RNA molecules, effectively correcting or modifying how genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA. The newly reported Phase 1 data for AX-0810, a candidate targeting cholestatic liver disease, therefore serve as an early test of whether ProQR’s editing oligonucleotides can produce a measurable biological effect in humans.
