I. Patient Avatars

Representative models

Patient Avatars are animals that most closely represent human patients with our target indications and that have often acquired the disease naturally.

Gene therapy is fulfilling the promise of miracle cures for rare diseases. But even as delivery technology continues to mature, the field has yet to make headway for much more common complex diseases because of target risk. At Gordian, we leverage proven gene therapy delivery technology to screen thousands of targets for these diseases, eliminating this barrier.
