Our Partners

We are proud to work collaboratively with a number of corporate partners to enable our community to live fulfilled lives today as well as supporting the pharmaceutical industry in their mission to develop potential new treatments.

We are very grateful to the following corporate partners for all they do to support our work and our community.

Sepul Bio is a business unit within Thea exclusively focused on developing treatments for inherited retinal diseases. Sepul Bio’s initial focus will be to develop two  flagship assets: Sepofarsen and Ultevursen. Sepofarsen is an investigational RNA therapy targeting Leber congenital amaurosis 10. This therapy is designed to address vision problems by addressing the underlying genetic mutation. Sepofarsen aims to skip aberrant mutation in the mRNA, leading to the production of functional protein. Ultevursen, also based on RNA technology, is aimed at addressing vision loss in Usher syndrome type 2a and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa.

Janssen Pharmaceuticals, one of the Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, has established a new focus on Retinal Diseases to develop transformational therapies and platforms that restore and preserve vision.

Abbvie a pharmaceutical and research development company.

AAvantgarde, a biotechnology company working on developing treatments for Usher syndrome type 1B and Stargardt disease.
