Bamboo Therapeutics is a recently formed biotechnology company focused on advancing therapies for rare pediatric diseases of the central and neuromuscular systems. Bamboo was founded to advance the pioneering laboratory work of Dr. Jude Samulski, PhD, the former Director of the Gene Therapy Center at the University of North Carolina into human clinical trials. “Gene Therapy” describes the idea of introducing new genetic material into cells to correct an existing problem, often due to a disease-causing mutation. During the June 13, 2016 webinar, Dr. Samulski explained the basics of gene therapy and described Bamboo’s approach to developing a treatment for Duchenne; by utilizing a disabled virus to deliver a small, highly optimized version of the dystrophin gene systemically to skeletal and cardiac muscle.
