AMPLO BIOTECHNOLOGY

Diseases of the neuromuscular junction have profound health effects including paralysis, breathing and swallowing difficulties. Amplo Biotechnology plans to develop multiple, potentially curative, Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) therapies for the neuromuscular junction with an initial focus on congenital myasthenic syndromes. Amplo’s lead program, AAV-Dok7, was developed by Professor Yuji Yamanashi's group of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, and is applicable to multiple rare, severe diseases.
