Chroma Medicine Presents Data Showing Specific and Durable HBV Silencing with Epigenetic Editors at the HBV International Meeting 2023
Boston, MA, September 20, 2023 – Chroma Medicine, Inc., (Chroma) a genomic medicine company pioneering single-dose epigenetic editing therapeutics, today presented positive preclinical data demonstrating the potential of its epigenetic editors to produce efficacious, specific, and durable silencing of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) during the HBV International Meeting 2023, held September 19-23 in Kobe, Japan. Chronic hepatitis B is incurable, increases the risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer, and impacts nearly 300 million people worldwide, accounting for more than 800,000 deaths per year. Antiviral therapy can suppress viral replication, but requires lifelong dosing and few patients achieve…

Chroma Medicine Announces Data Demonstrating the Benefits of Epigenetic Editing for Multiplex Gene Regulation at ASGCT 2023
Boston, MA, May 19, 2023 – Chroma Medicine, Inc., (Chroma) a genomic medicine company pioneering single-dose epigenetic editing therapeutics, today presented data demonstrating the advantages of epigenetic editing for multiplex gene regulation at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 26th Annual Meeting in Los Angeles. Chroma’s epigenetic editing platform harnesses the cell’s endogenous mechanism for regulating gene expression to durably modulate transcription without cutting or nicking the DNA, offering a potentially safer approach for multiplex editing. This avoids challenges associated with gene editing methods that rely upon DNA breaks to alter gene expression, which have the potential…
