About Us
WHO WE ARE
LightSeed is a specialty Biotechnology company that has been developing approaches to reduce serious side effects from chemotherapy and radiation.
Targeting Inducible Gene Therapy
- Gene therapy for cancer and other diseases is currently of high interest. Current gene therapy are limited by:
- a). Inability to turn the gene therapy on and off without side effects on the patient.
- b). Inability to target the gene therapy to specific cells.
- Solution. We have therefore developed and patented a tightly regulated gene therapy system that can activate a gene therapy payload at a single cell level.
Preventing Heart Toxicity
- The most commonly used chemotherapies have the side effect of heart damage.
- No current effective prevention therapy exists.
- Solution. LightSeed has identified a specific target receptor that is turned on in the damaged hearts of patients who required heart transplant for heart failure after chemotherapy for cancer.
- We are testing therapies to prevent the heart damage from chemotherapy using gene therapy and stem cell therapy approaches.
Our Mission: Improve the quality of life for cancer patients
Methods for Precise Gene Therapy Delivery
- Limitations of current gene therapy are:
- a). the ability to turn the gene therapy on and off without side effects on the patient.
- b). the ability to target the gene therapy to the specific cells of interest.
- Solution. LightSeed is developing tightly regulated gene therapy systems that can activate a gene therapy payload at a single cell level.
Methods to reduce cardiac toxicity from chemotherapy
- Dose-limiting toxicity from chemotherapy and radiation reduces therapy efficacy.
- One serious long term side effect for breast cancer treatment is heart damage.
- Solution. LightSeed LLC is developing technology to prevent heart toxicity from cancer therapy using:.
- stem cell therapy
- gene therapy
- FDA approved drug repurposing.
Protecting Cancer Patients from unwanted side effects
Protecting the heart before the damage begins.
