Serina Therapeutics to Present Novel Data on POZ-Lipid Technology Potentially Enhancing Safety and Efficacy of mRNA LNP Formulations at the 4th mRNA-Based Therapeutics Summit
HUNTSVILLE, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serina Therapeutics (“Serina”) (NYSE American: SER), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing its proprietary POZ PlatformTM drug delivery technology, today announced that Randall Moreadith, MD, Ph.D., Chief Development Officer, will present at the 4th Annual mRNA-Based Therapeutics Summit. The conference will take place from July 29-31, 2024, in Boston, MA.
Dr. Moreadith's presentation, titled "Overcoming Anti-PEG Antibody Responses to Increase Potency & Decrease Adverse Side Effects of mRNA-LNP Formulations”, is scheduled for 9:00 AM ET on Monday, July 29. In this talk, Dr. Moreadith will present novel data on Serina Therapeutics' innovative POZ-lipid, a proprietary technology that aims to significantly advance the safety and efficacy of mRNA-LNP formulations. These data show that POZ-lipid does not induce an IgM or IgG antibody response, even with repeated dosing in in vivo models.
This finding is crucial because the PEG-lipids currently used in mRNA vaccines can elicit an anti-PEG antibody response. This response is associated with serious adverse events, including anaphylaxis, which can pose a life-threatening risk to patients. The presentation will provide insights into how Serina's POZ-lipid technology can potentially mitigate these adverse effects, thereby enhancing the safety and efficacy profile of mRNA-LNP medicines.
