Thalia Therapeutics Plc, an AIM-listed biopharmaceutical company, develops RNA delivery technologies and RNA-based therapeutics with a focus on oncology and cardiovascular disease, leveraging its Nuvec and LipTide platforms to improve intracellular delivery of nucleic acids, vaccines, and related therapeutics. The company operates primarily through its UK subsidiaries, including N4 Pharma UK Limited and Nanogenics Limited, and targets licensing opportunities with pharmaceutical and biotech partners for preclinical and early clinical programs.
Main products and services
- Nuvec delivery system: amorphous silica nanoparticle platform designed to enhance intracellular delivery and potency of RNA, DNA, and siRNA therapies; surface-engineered to trap and protect payloads and enable targeted delivery; suitable for nucleic acid therapeutics development and potential licensing for partner programs.
- LipTide delivery system: lipid-peptide delivery platform that mimics viral delivery; combines peptide-based payload binding with lipid-mediated endosomal release to facilitate efficient RNA delivery into cells; pursued for targeted RNA therapeutics in oncology and cardiovascular indications.
- RNA therapeutics development: in-house and partnered programs focusing on delivering siRNA and other RNA modalities; pipelines emphasize long-duration, multi-target approaches for cardiovascular and cancer indications.
- Licensing and collaboration services: offers Nuvec and LipTide-based platforms to pharmaceutical and biotech partners for research, development, and commercialization of nucleic acid products, including opportunity for co-development or out-licensing of assets.
Latest major company changes
