OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER

At Capsida, we’re passionate about developing innovative, best-in-class gene therapies for debilitating rare and common diseases across all ages. Our goal is to apply the strength of our targeted gene therapy platform to develop a new generation of transformative therapies.

We are inspired by the work we are doing with academic, clinical and industry leaders that share our vision and want to collaborate to help us reach more patients and benefit more lives. Since our inception, we have entered into strategic collaborations with AbbVie, CRISPR Therapeutics, Prevail Therapeutics, a part of Lilly’s Gene Therapy Division, and Kate Therapeutics (acquired by Novartis).

To discuss potential partnering opportunities, please contact us at BDteam@capsida.com.

Collaborating with innovators who share our determination to develop transformative gene therapies for patients is an important component of our business strategy.
