(Nasdaq: PRQR) (the “Company”), a company dedicated to changing lives through the creation of transformative RNA therapies, today announced a presentation at the Oligonucleotide and Peptide Therapeutics conference, or TIDES Europe, that is being held November 16-18, 2022 in Vienna, Austria. ProQR presentation Presentation title: Progress on Development of RNA Base Editing Technologies for Precision MedicinesPresenter: Gerard Platenburg, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at ProQRPresentation type: Oral presentationSession: Oligonucleotide Discovery, Preclinical and ClinicalDate: November 18, 2022 at 2:30pm CET About Axiomer® Technology ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA base editing technology called Axiomer®, which could potentially yield a new class of medicines for diverse types of diseases. Axiomer® “Editing Oligonucleotides”, or EONs, mediate single nucleotide changes to RNA in a highly specific and targeted way using molecular machinery that is present in human cells called ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA). Axiomer® EONs are designed to recruit and direct endogenously expressed ADARs to change an Adenosine (A) to an Inosine (I) in the RNA – an Inosine is translated as a Guanosine (G) – correcting an RNA with a disease-causing mutation back to a normal (wild type) RNA, modulating protein expression, or altering a protein so that it will have a new function that helps prevent or treat disease. About ProQR ProQR Therapeutics is dedicated to changing lives through the creation of transformative RNA therapies. ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA technology called Axiomer®, which uses a cell’s own editing machinery called ADAR (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA) to make specific single nucleotide edits in RNA to reverse a mutation, modulate protein expression or change a protein and could potentially yield a new class of medicines for diverse types of diseases. Based on our unique proprietary RNA repair platform technologies we are growing our pipeline with patients and loved ones in mind.Learn more about ProQR at www.proqr.com.
