BIOINTAXIS - A NEW COMPANY DEDICATED TO THE INVESTIGATION OF RARE DISEASES

Originally a foundation at the Institut d’Investigació en Ciències de la salut Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP), Biointaxis has been created for the investigation of rare diseases and especially of Friedrich's Ataxia.

In December 2018 the project successfully completed the pre-clinical phase where ataxia and the clinical signs were corrected with the transfer of frataxin protein to a mouse model with the disease, through the use of a vector based on adeno-associated virus (AAV), to the damaged neurons that are located mainly in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Our research is now being transferred in the design of a clinical trial for patients with Friedreich's Ataxia.
