Hybridize Therapeutics

Hybridize Therapeutics is a spin-off from the Department of Nephrology at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). The LUMC has played pioneering role in both nephrology (kidney dialysis) and RNA-based medicine (oligonucleotide chemistry and synthesis). Hybridize has merged these areas in its mission, focusing on helping patients overcome untreated kidney diseases with high unmet medical needs using RNA-based therapeutics. Next to its program on BK-virus, Hybridize has a pipeline of programs ongoing leveraging a similar RNA-based strategy as applied for the BKV programs. The program areas include undisclosed molecules targeting kidney monogenic diseases and anti-inflammation/fibrosis.
