The Company
Mission Statement
siRNAx,
Inc. is an early stage drug discovery and development company. The
mission of siRNAx, Inc.
is to develop fusion proteins for the
targeted delivery of
short interfering RNA (siRNA).
siRNAx,
Inc.’s initial disease target of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. This disease
is caused by the uncontrolled production of the IgM
antibody. siRNAx, Inc.’s fusion protein will deliver the siRNA to
the plasma cells which secrete the IgM. The siRNA will then turn off the
production of the IgM in the malignant plasma cells.
This company was founded by Dr. Michael R. Simon and Dr. R. Michael Garavito as an S
corporation on August 31, 2012. Dr Simon is its majority shareholder. Dr. Simon and Dr. Garavito are the
co-inventors of the relevant intellectual property.
The
cellular and protein targeting by siRNAx's fusion protein delivery of siRNA
will minimize the often severe side effects that are seen with current cancer
treatments.
siRNAx,
Inc. is located in Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
