23 Jul Kenai Therapeutics
Kenai Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering next generation approaches to cure neurological conditions. By leveraging a proprietary, Nobel Prize-winning iPSC platform, Kenai is developing off-the-shelf, allogeneic neuron replacement and gene-modified cell therapies designed to be disease-modifying rather than symptom-masking. Kenai’s lead candidate, RNDP-001, is in development for the treatment of moderate to moderate-severe forms of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. The company’s additional programs target inherited and genetically driven subtypes of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions, with the goal of delivering long-lasting restoration of function. Kenai’s exclusive manufacturing partnership with FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc., enables scalable, cryopreserved production of high-potency cell therapies. Founded in 2022, Kenai is backed by leading life science investors and is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
