Tiba’s biodegradable nanoparticle has a payload capacity which is an order of magnitude greater than traditional LNPs. This allows our scientists to design more complex data structures that express a desired protein content at a well-defined ratio. Tiba is developing novel algorithms and a database of annotated nucleic acid structures that allow us to rapidly develop candidate applications. While our first focus is on prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases, we are expanding the platform to:
The therapeutic impact of an RNA molecule is determined not just by its nucleic acid sequence, but also by other factors such as secondary structure, translation co-factors and neighboring molecules. We are developing in-house tools and leverage a range of computational systems to rapidly predict and score potential candidates, in silica.
