Founded as a spin-off of VUB, one of Flanders’ universities, in 2013, eTheRNA Immunotherapies specializes in mRNA technology. The company does not yet have a treatment on the market. Various clinical studies, including candidate therapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases like malaria, are currently ongoing.
Operations Director Bernard Sagaert, who is acting as the new interim CEO of eTheRNA Immunotherapies, notes that the company is also shifting its strategic focus: “We are now seeking partners for further development after an initial phase of clinical research. We are focusing on our technology platforms to help partners with their development of mRNA therapeutics. This involves technology for the production of active molecules or custom-made lipid nanoparticles.”
