Kamau Therapeutics is a clinical-stage, next-generation gene correction company that aims to develop curative treatments for a range of genetic diseases. The company’s platform technology is based on the pioneering research of company co-founder Dr. Matthew Porteus, MD, PhD, and offers broad potential for transforming human health. Kamau’s lead clinical programme, nulabeglogene autogedtemcel (nula-cel), previously developed by Graphite Bio, is the only haematopoietic stem-cell based therapy in clinical development for sickle cell disease that precisely corrects the mutation in the beta-globin gene found in the sickled haemoglobin of SCD patients, restoring patient’s stem cells to normal adult haemoglobin.
