Executive Summary
Genteric is harnessing the body's ductal system to get genes into the gastrointestinal organs and on into the circulation, without directly confronting the circulatory system. The firm believes this direct route will improve transfection rates and reduce immune reactions, regardless of the sort of vector--and has been pitching gene-therapy companies on the concept. So far, they've been hard to convince, but Genteric is confident they will come to appreciate the benefits of its delivery method.
