Wave Life Sciences announces Research Day on Oct. 30

Wave Life Sciences will host a virtual Research Day on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. ET. During the event, Wave will provide an update on its rapidly advancing, wholly owned pipeline, introduce new GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing and siRNA programs, and discuss its clinically validated discovery and drug development platform, including its novel chemistry innovations enabling best-in-class potency, durability and delivery. The new RNA editing programs build on the learnings of WVE-006, Wave’s GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide being advanced in the clinic for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency – the first ADAR editing therapeutic to enter clinical development. Wave will also highlight the opportunity for WVE-007, Wave’s GalNAc-siRNA INHBE candidate, as a novel obesity treatment, share new preclinical data, and discuss the differentiated profile of WVE-007. The event will feature perspectives from a key opinion leader in obesity, Mehmet Furkan Burak, MD, who will discuss the current treatment landscape for obesity and the unmet needs that remain. Dr. Burak is an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an endocrinologist and obesity specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital Center for Weight Management and Wellness.
