Build backwards: A framework for rare disease gene therapy development

Rare disease gene therapies don’t fail due to poor science, they fail because of a flawed strategy. Our latest article challenges the conventional linear model of therapeutic development and presents a more viable approach for rare conditions.

  • Why building backwards leads to better clinical, regulatory, and commercial outcomes

  • How ViroCell’s modular lentiviral platform supports scalability across rare indications

  • What it means to design gene therapies that are built to reach patients
