🚀 Last week, we welcomed Carsten Merkwirth, PhD as HAYA's Senior Director, Biomarkers. Carsten brings a wealth of experience from biomarker discovery to clinical biomarker development for late-stage assets across multiple modalities and therapeutic areas, including fibrotic-related diseases, oncology, immunology and neuroscience. His career includes roles at Takeda, Biosplice Therapeutics and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. We are thrilled to start working with him to help us develop and implement biomarker strategies across HAYA’s pipeline, focusing on RNA-targeted therapeutics for long non-coding RNAs and the regulatory genome. 🎉Welcome to the team Carsten!

Inspired to Transform, The Genome Informs - RNA-Guided Therapeutics to Target Disease Causing Cell-States
About us
HAYA Therapeutics is a precision medicines company developing RNA-guided programmable therapeutics targeting the regulatory genome for serious health conditions including cardiovascular disease and cancer. The company is using its innovative cell-state modifying platform to gain novel insights into the biology of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), the ‘dark genomes’ information processing features and ‘source code’. HAYA’s lead therapeutic candidate is HTX-001, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting Wisper, which is a tissue and cell-specific cardiac lncRNA known to play a role in heart failure. The company is also developing a pipeline of lncRNA-targeting candidates for the cell-specific treatment of diseases in other tissues, including the lungs and the microenvironment of solid tumor cancers. Headquartered at the life sciences park Biopôle in Lausanne, Switzerland with laboratory facilities at JLABS @ San Diego, HAYA is led by a world-class team of experts in programmable and precision RNA-targeted therapeutics and is supported by a strong investor consortium. HAYA’s mission is to identify and develop breakthrough disease-modifying therapeutics with the potential for greater efficacy, safety, and accessibility than existing treatments.

And now the rest of the story… While the finding is that a deletion in the lncRNA CHASERR underlies the findings recently described in a NEJM article, the real story is about Emma Broadbent, the other two children, and the families who helped drive to the discovery. Their story is an inspiration to find new therapies that build on lncRNAs to harness gene regulation to treat and cure disease. #lncRNA #HAYA #HAYATherapeutics #patients https://lnkd.in/eCKmzJcb

Are lncRNAs important in human disease? Absolutely! New research on CHASERR, a lncRNA near CHD2, shows that its deletion causes severe neurodevelopmental disorders by altering gene regulation. Another step forward in uncovering the critical role of lncRNAs in human health! #lncRNA #Neurodevelopment #PrecisionMedicine
