Job Description

Nanoparticle based Gene therapy, for Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is characterized by skin fragility, hence the disease manifests with open wounds.

  1. Nano-carrier for base pair editing or Collagen VII delivery
  • Enhanced transfection through endosome escape and membrane penetration.
  • FDA approved excipient were used for rapid approval to clinical trail.
  • Much cheaper and more affordable 
  1. Stem cell or exosomal therapy for EB treatment
  • Higher novelty, higher efficacy and can be used for systemic treatment.
  • Have anti-inflammatory effect, and wound healing capability.
  • More expansive, requires long period for FDA approval to clinical trail.
