Avidity Biosciences is a privately-held biotech company pioneering Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugates (AOC™). AOCs combine the tissue selectivity of monoclonal antibodies and the precision of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics to overcome barriers to the delivery of oligonucleotides and target genetic drivers of disease.
Avidity’s antibody oligonucleotide conjugate (AOC™) technology utilizes antibodies to target cells and tissues of interest and facilitate the uptake and internalization of oligonucleotide payloads. By combining the cellular and tissue selectivity of antibodies with the selectivity and efficiency of oligo-based approaches, Avidity has demonstrated modulation of disease-related RNAs in diverse cell types and tissues including muscle, heart, liver, tumors and immune cells.
