The company aims to save as many patients as possible by taking on the challenge of treating various intractable diseases such as hereditary rare diseases. The ST method (Sense-strand Technology), invented by Dr. Hideaki Maseda of the University of Tokushima (currently National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), makes it possible to edit genomes without using foreign proteins. For pharmaceutical applications, direct editing of targeted genes by the ST method is expected to enable in vivo editing without the use of viral vectors or foreign proteins.
