Aera Therapeutics is an R&D company leveraging its proprietary protein nanoparticle (PNP) delivery platform. PNPs are derived from retroelements that self-assemble to form capsid-like structures, which can package and transfer nucleic acid cargo. This platform can deliver a variety of cargos including siRNAs and CRISPR/Cas-based platforms regardless of the payload size, and thus holds potential for the development of potent genetic therapeutics.
