Reflecting on Progress Toward Equity, Racial Justice, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Latest in Cystic Fibrosis Research

We announced last week that
we are investing up to $3.5 million in Gensaic Inc. ([link removed])
to conduct preclinical research to develop a novel approach to deliver a gene therapy to the lung cells of people with cystic fibrosis. If successful, this gene delivery vehicle would deliver a healthy cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene to lung cells, which would enable the production of functioning CFTR protein.

In addition,
we awarded up to $15 million to ReCode Therapeutics ([link removed])
for preclinical research and early-stage clinical trials for their mRNA therapy, which could eventually provide a treatment option for all people with cystic fibrosis, regardless of their mutations.
