Biopharma Dealmakers (Biopharm Deal). 18/7/2022.
Voyager Therapeutics is unlocking the potential of adeno-associated virus gene therapy to treat a range of neurological disorders, broadening the therapeutic window while ensuring efficacy and safety. The company has already secured capsid option and license agreements with Novartis and Pfizer for target-specific use with CNS and cardiac muscle targets. Voyager also has an ongoing collaboration with Neurocrine Biosciences on a preclinical Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) program and two undisclosed discovery programs in which the company’s novel capsids may be deployed.
