About Sangamo
Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. is focused on the research and development of
novel DNA-binding proteins for therapeutic gene regulation and modification.
The most advanced ZFP Therapeutic(TM) development program is currently in
Phase 2 clinical trials for evaluation of safety and clinical effect in
patients with diabetic neuropathy and ALS. Other therapeutic development
programs are focused on cancer, HIV/AIDS, neuropathic pain, nerve
regeneration, Parkinson's disease and monogenic diseases. Sangamo's core
competencies enable the engineering of a class of DNA-binding proteins known
as zinc finger DNA-binding proteins (ZFPs). By engineering ZFPs that
recognize a specific DNA sequence Sangamo has created ZFP transcription
factors (ZFP TF(TM)) that can control gene expression and, consequently, cell
function. Sangamo is also developing sequence-specific ZFP Nucleases
(ZFN(TM)) for gene modification. Sangamo has established strategic
partnerships wit
