Publication in Nature Communications of a Next-Generation Gene Therapy Vector for Muscle Diseases, Using AI Predictive Methodology to Improve Efficacy and Safety

“An engineered AAV targeting integrin alphaV beta 6 presents improved myotropism across species,” by Ai Vu Hong (Genethon), et al., was published in Nature Communications (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-52002-4). The paper describes development of the next-generation LICA-1 capsid by Isabelle Richard, Ph.D., Atamyo’s Chief Scientific Officer, and her Progressive Muscular Dystrophies Team at Genethon. Atamyo has rights to the LICA-1 capsid for cardiomyopathies indications.

About Atamyo Therapeutics

Atamyo Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on the development of a new generation of effective and safe gene therapies for neuromuscular diseases. A spin-off of gene therapy pioneer Genethon, Atamyo leverages unique expertise in AAV-based gene therapy and muscular dystrophies from the Progressive Muscular Dystrophies Laboratory at Genethon. Atamyo’s most advanced programs address different forms of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), with two clinical-stage programs targeting respectively LGMD2I/R9 and LGMD2C/R5. The name of the company is derived from two words: Celtic Atao which means “Always” or “Forever” and Myo which is the Greek root for muscle. Atamyo conveys the spirit of its commitment to improve the life of patients affected by neuromuscular diseases with life-long efficient treatments. For more information visit www.atamyo.com
