Amplo Biotechnology is to develop multiple, potentially curative, Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) therapies for the neuromuscular junction.
Diseases of the neuromuscular junction have profound health effects including paralysis, breathing and swallowing difficulties. Amplo Biotechnology plans to develop multiple, potentially curative, Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) therapies for the neuromuscular junction with an initial focus on congenital myasthenic syndromes. Amplo’s lead program, AAV-Dok7, was developed by Professor Yuji Yamanashi's group of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, and is applicable to multiple rare, severe diseases.
