Your support is crucial in raising awareness and funds for gene therapy pre-clinical research, preparation for a Toxicology Study, or whatever exciting initiatives may be next. 


The sooner we reach our goals, the faster we get to a potential Clinical Trial.

Total Updated April 2024

 Gene therapy is a revolutionary approach to treating genetic diseases, where a one-time treatment can provide a lifetime of benefits. Instead of treating just the symptoms, gene therapy fixes the disease at the source by replacing the defective gene with a healthy copy.

A healthy copy of the patient's defective gene is loaded into a virus that has been stripped of its own DNA.

Trillions of viruses, each containing a healthy copy of the gene, are injected into the patient's spinal fluid. 

The viruses bind to cells in the patient's spinal cord and brain and deliver healthy gene's to the cell's nucleus.
