Collaboration of the week

Acrobat Genomics X NanoString Technologies, Inc. X Illumina

Acrobat Genomics , NanoString Technologies, Inc. , and the Illumina Accelerator announced thius week their collaboration with Stanford Medicine to discover new drug targets for gene editing-based therapeutics using GeoMx? Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) technology. This collaboration aims to improve treatment options for patients suffering from interstitial lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

NanoString’s GeoMx DSP is a powerful spatial biology platform that enables researchers to uncover intricate interactions between cells and identify the driving signaling pathways in multicellular systems. By spatially profiling whole transcriptome and high-plex protein expression in tissue samples, it provides invaluable insights into the cellular microenvironment, revealing the complex interplay between different cell types and the molecular mechanisms that contribute to disease progression. Acrobat Genomics, an innovative startup within the Illumina Accelerator Program specializing in gene editing technologies, will join forces with NanoString to receive a GeoMx DSP Technology Access Program grant. The grant was facilitated by the Illumina Accelerator, which brings together innovative genomics start-up companies with NanoString to form valuable partnerships.

Nick Hughes the co-founder/CEO of Acrobat Genomics , commented on the potential of gene editing technology, "Gene editing holds immense promise for the treatment of genetic diseases. By precisely targeting the molecular markers of IPF, we aim to develop targeted therapies that can significantly improve the lives of patients."

About Acrobat Genomics- Acrobat Genomics is a biotechnology startup focused on developing precise gene editing therapeutics using its protein engineering platform. The company's proprietary platform technology allows for precise editing of disease-causing mutations, aiming to provide targeted therapies for those with limited treatment options.
