At Avidity, we are developing a new class of oligonucleotide-based therapies. We utilize our proprietary AOC platform to design, engineer and develop therapeutics that combine the tissue selectivity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and the precision of oligonucleotide-based therapies in order to access previously undruggable tissue and cell types and more effectively target underlying genetic drivers of diseases. We hope that our AOC therapies can treat a wide range of serious diseases and our initial focus is on muscle diseases.
Through this platform, we are pleased to share our ideas and company progress as we advance our science and overall mission to deliver breakthrough therapies to patients.
