VARIANT

Variant is a biotechnology company that develops innovative products in the ophthalmology sector. Variant aims to provide the pharmaceutical industry with solid proof-of-concept data to enable the clinical development of therapeutic strategies intended for rare visual diseases. The company has several scientific collaborations specialized in genome analysis, production and administration of AAV vectors, and human retinal organoids. Our associated partners are well-positioned to test therapies for dominant and recessive retinal dystrophy forms, notably orphan diseases, such as congenital Leber Amaurosis, cone-rod dystrophies, and retinitis pigmentosa. Variant’s leading preclinical portfolio has a diversified risk profile: the company specializes in the use of “transcription factor” genes, which intervene very early in the development of photoreceptors to relaunch the differentiation of cones and rods in the retina.
