We are a preclinical biotechnology company committed to a bold mission: to discover, develop and deliver curative therapies that address the underlying drivers of heart disease. Our vision is to change the treatment paradigm for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the world, and in doing so improve and extend the lives of millions of individuals and families. 

Founded by leading cardiovascular scientists from Gladstone Institutes and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW), we are developing therapies through scientific advancements in three distinct but interrelated product platforms: Gene Therapy, Cellular Regeneration and Precision Medicine. While our Gene Therapy and Cellular Regeneration platforms focus on the use of viral vectors for drug delivery, our Precision Medicine platform enables us to identify promising targets and product candidates in a modality-agnostic manner, including gene therapies, small molecules, and biologics.

We are advancing a deep and diverse pipeline that includes both gene therapies and small molecules. In 2022, we intend to submit an investigational new drug application (IND) or a clinical trial application (CTA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA), respectively, for the most advanced product candidate from our Gene Therapy platform, TN-201, an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy to address genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (gHCM) caused by Myosin Binding Protein C3 (MYBPC3) gene mutations. TN-201, currently in IND-enabling studies, is designed to deliver a fully functional MYBPC3 gene driven by our proprietary heart-specific promoter to restore normal levels of MYBPC3 protein.

We also intend to submit an IND to the FDA in 2022 for the most advanced product candidate from our Precision Medicine platform, TYA-11631, a highly specific small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6i). TYA-11631, currently in IND-enabling studies, has potentially broad utility in both heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as well as genetic dilated cardiomyopathy (gDCM).
