WALTHAM, Mass., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Carbon Biosciences, a preclinical stage biotechnology company developing genetic medicines for the treatment of pulmonary and cardiac diseases, announced that it has been selected for an oral presentation at the Presidential Symposium during the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting taking place from May 7-11, 2024, in Baltimore, MD. The presentation will highlight the development of CGT-001, a potential gene therapy for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF), which utilizes the novel pulmonary targeting vector, CBN-1000, capable of delivering genes beyond the capacity of AAV. In addition, the Company will be featuring three poster presentations detailing new preclinical data, and manufacturing process development and analytical characterization for two of its novel viral gene therapy vectors.
"We are pleased to present data at ASGCT demonstrating the potential of the PAVE platform to expand the reach of gene therapy, while simultaneously benefiting from existing AAV knowledge and infrastructure," said, Marc Abrams, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Carbon Biosciences. "PAVE vectors enable local or systemic delivery of well-validated therapeutic targets that exceed the cargo capacity of existing AAV vectors, without unwanted liver targeting or prior human exposure."
