Avidity Biosciences is pioneering a new class of precision medicines – antibody-siRNA conjugates (ASC™) – to deliver nucleic acid therapeutics against genetic drivers of disease. Our ASCs have drug-like properties similar to antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates. Importantly, their unique siRNA-based “payloads” permit selective targeting of disease-associated mRNAs against virtually any target of interest.
