Kylin Therapeutics expands cancer research

This expanded effort will be conducted at Purdue University’s Bindley Bioscience Center, and will focus on further validating targeted, systemically delivered cancer therapies utilizing Kylin’s proprietary pRNAi platform.

pRNA is a discrete, RNA-based nanoparticle system. Kylin has re-engineered pRNA to induce RNA interference (RNAi). The resulting therapeutic platform is called pRNAi. This platform represents the next generation of RNAi-inducing therapeutics with superior pharmacokinetics and potency over siRNA, said Kylin.

Eric Davis, president and CEO of Kylin, said: “Our in vivo efforts have shown pRNAi to be a very potent and versatile RNA inducing platform. This expanded effort will enable us to test the flexibility of the pRNAi platform against various cancer targets.”
