The Company —
Founded in 2000, Discovery Genomics, Inc. (DGI) began operations in January 2002. We discover gene functions and deliver safe, long-lasting gene therapy.
Our primary focus is to deliver gene therapies for blood diseases.
Proprietary Technologies —
DGI holds exclusive rights to two breakthrough technologies:
 |
Gene Delivery Technology
DGI’s patented SB-Therapeutics Gene Delivery System achieves long-term, safe therapeutic gene delivery without using viruses. It has significant safety and efficacy advantages over other available gene carriers. |
|
Gene Discovery Technology
DGI’s proprietary gene discovery technology permits DGI to discover and own genes vital to its gene therapy business. In addition, it can enable significant reductions in drug discovery costs with its unmatched speed and efficiency in characterizing gene function and identifying and validating targets.
