GenSight Biologics

GenSight Biologics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative gene therapies for retinal neurodegenerative diseases and central nervous system disorders. Their pipeline leverages two core technology platforms: Mitochondrial Targeting Sequence (MTS) and optogenetics. The company's lead product candidate, LUMEVOQ® (GS010; lenadogene nolparvovec), has been submitted for marketing approval in Europe for the treatment of Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare mitochondrial disease that leads to irreversible blindness. GenSight Biologics' product candidates are designed to be administered in a single treatment to each eye by intravitreal injection, offering patients a sustainable functional visual recovery.

GenSight Biologics is driven by a mission to turn scientific advances in gene therapy into novel treatments for patients with severe degenerative diseases of the eye and central nervous system. The company's focus is on severe retinal diseases, with the goal of preserving or restoring vision in patients suffering from sight-threatening ophthalmic diseases. They are committed to developing gene therapy-based solutions that are simple and convenient for both patients and physicians, with a long-lasting cure in mind. The company believes their technology platforms have wider applicability, potentially to other disorders of the central nervous system, and their research teams are exploring options for other neurodegenerative conditions for which no satisfactory solutions have been found.
