October 1, 2020 -- Ionis Pharmaceuticals and Genuity Science have entered a multiyear collaboration to accelerate the discovery and development of genetically validated targets for up to 20 diseases.
The partnership will leverage Genuity's whole-genome sequencing and deep phenotypic data to better define underlying disease mechanisms. This will be paired with Ionis' proprietary antisense technology for direct translation of targets into RNA-targeted therapeutics.
Under the agreement, Genuity will receive a combination of upfront payments and development milestones plus product royalties.
