Company Summary

Localized Therapeutics is a biotech R&D startup developing a first-to-market delivery system providing safety control for gene drugs called the Laser Gene Switch™ (LGS) and combines light therapy with gene therapy. LGS uses a proprietary light-inducible DNA sequence which is integrated into licensee gene drugs and offers a safety control mechanism which is missing in current gene therapy drugs. We will produce different LGS sequences per disease.
