Inverna Therapeutics, a Danish biotech company, has officially launched to develop innovative RNA-based therapies targeting severe genetic diseases. Co-founded by the University of Southern Denmark and Argobio, Inverna will focus on its lead programme addressing Huntington’s disease.

Genetic Diseases:?It’s a disease that often strikes people in the prime of life, slowly destroying control over body, mind and personality. It inevitably kills the patient, but usually only after at least a decade of suffering. The underlying cause of Huntington’s disease – a dominant mutation on Chromosome IV – was discovered almost 25 years ago. Now the first trials to target the condition at its source have begun. Chances of finding a cure have never been more realistic.
