About Axovia Therapeutics
Axovia Therapeutics develops gene therapies for diseases caused by cilia dysfunction, with a focus on genetic forms of blindness and obesity. Its lead program uses an AAV9 vector to deliver a functional copy of the faulty BBS gene for people with Bardet-Biedl syndrome linked to BBS1 mutations.
The company was co-founded by Professor Philip Beales and Dr. Victor Hernandez as a spin-off from University College London. It is based in London and is developing a second program targeting a common genetic cause of obesity.
Product: Gene therapy programs for ciliopathies, including a BBS1-focused therapy for Bardet-Biedl syndrome and a program targeting genetic obesity.
