– Posters detail large gene insertion and epigenetic editing capabilities, expanding ElevateBio’s gene editing toolbox
– Additional presentations highlight protein engineering expertise, off-target assessment strategies, AI-powered discovery, and advancements in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery
WALTHAM, Mass., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ElevateBio, a technology-driven advanced therapy CDMO and gene editing services partner, today announced presentations at the upcoming American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 29th Annual Meeting taking place May 11-15, in Boston, MA.
ElevateBio’s presentations span key areas of advancement to its gene editing tools and services, including new editing modalities, AI-driven protein discovery, and non-viral delivery. Data will showcase large gene insertion and epigenetic editing capabilities, which expand ElevateBio’s gene editing toolbox beyond nuclease editing, base editing, and reverse transcriptase (RT) editing to enable the discovery and development of genetic medicines for a broader range of diseases.
“The breadth of data we’re presenting at ASGCT reflects the rapid evolution and expansion of our gene editing capabilities,” said Amy Pooler, Chief Scientific Officer at ElevateBio. “From discovery of novel proteins with artificial intelligence, to advancements in new modalities like large gene insertion and epigenetic editing, to the ability to deliver these as therapies leveraging our proprietary LNP platform – we are building a fully integrated engine to help our partners advance genetic medicines.”
Details of the presentations are below, and abstracts are available on ElevateBio’s website here. All poster presentations will take place in the MCEC Exhibit and Poster Hall (Halls B2-C, Exhibit Level). ElevateBio will be exhibiting at booth #1239.
