Cardiogeni Plc
Overview
Company Profile
Founded by Nobel Laureate, Professor Sir Martin Evans, the Cardiogeni Group is developing a new class of life-saving cellular medicines. The Group's platform technology enables the creation of unique (living) cells that are engineered with a specific therapeutic function. The Group's lead product, CLXR-001, is a patented engineered cellular medicine to treat heart failure patients which is administered during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. The Group's novel epigenetic cellular reprogramming technology was developed in-house by Professor Sir Martin Evans and the platform along with the pipeline of medicines in development are protected by a portfolio of ~100 international patents and trademarks. CLXR-001 targets heart failure which will affect 1 in 4 people in their lifetime and is not reversible or curable. CLXR-001 consists of a novel allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cell type, iMP cells, engineered for cardiac regeneration whose mechanism of action is to regenerate damaged heart tissue and restoration of improved heart function improving both the life expectancy and quality of life of patients.
