Ligandal is a genetic medicine company that uses nanotechnology to develop targeted and personalised therapies. As a regenerative medicine biotechnology company, Ligandal develops ultra-rapid therapeutics and vaccines for outbreaks and pandemics, in addition to its work in immuno-oncology and rare genetic diseases. Our current focus is on delivering a peptide-based cure to the COVID-19 pandemic (SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus), as part of a broader mission of enabling personalized medicine on a global scale through the power of nanomedicine and gene therapies. Given that increasingly complex disease states require precise and custom-tailored medicine, much of our technology development has focused on combining gene therapy with targeting peptides to enable completely new paradigms in evolutionary medicine. Currently, we are utilizing a peptide nanoscaffold based approach for treating COVID-19 without a gene therapy component, with the goal of creating a combined antidote-vaccine. My expertise lies in targeted gene delivery, nano- and biomaterials, computational modeling of peptides, binding simulations, immunoengineering, as well as CRISPR and TALEN based gene editing. At Ligandal, we have demonstrated peptide-based delivery of CRISPR, RNA, DNA, siRNA, and a range of genes or proteins to virtually any cell type.Ligandal Address
